Made with – Bulky overlock foot no. 12 – Zigzag foot with non-stick sole – Embroidery software – Embroidery motif “Flowers” via embroideryonline.com – BSR ( BERNINA Stitch Regulator )

Multicoloured Variet y Individual shoulder straps are totally in vogue.

Whether colourful or discreet depends on the bag, on the person who carries it and of course on the occasion. Just do it yourself – that is the motto.

Proper metal snap hooks, which will allow easy attaching and exchanging, are available in stores.

Extra tip : The shoulder straps can also be worn as a belt – what an eye-catcher !

S1415 “Ethno” shoulder strap The multicoloured ethno patterns remain a permanent feature in the world of fashion – so why not create your own one? It doesn’t take much: some wool yarn, some remnants of leather and some multicoloured threads. Helpful support will be granted by the Bulky overlock foot to sew on thick yarns or the Zigzag foot with non-stick sole which facilitates sewing on leather.

S1416 “Rivets” shoulder strap This rocky version in the traditional look in black and silver has been staged with ornamental decorative stitches and rivets. That will take no time at all and won’t fail to have the desired effect.

S1417 “Medallions” shoulder strap Embroidery makes the task even easier – hooping, embroidering the motif twice and that’s it.

The metallic thread gives the shoulder strap an especially exclusive look.

S1418 “Flowers” shoulder strap Happy and cheerful, like a flower field, is a fitting description for this shoulder strap. Remnants of leather and imitation leather are underlaid so that the individual blossoms of the purchased embroidery motif stand out in an accentuated way.

S1419 “Leaves” shoulder strap Gone with the wind; that might be the impression of these grouped leaves which have been sewn on in free-motion embroidery with the BERNINA Stitch Regulator. Optionally, you can create an embroidery file and embroider the whole combination.

C olour ful C hildren’s World Toolbox – that is the new, youthful and easy-to-handle BERNINA Embroidery software we have used to create these cheerful projects. The BERNINA Toolbox embroidery software consists of individual modules which can be combined as desired: Editing, Lettering / Basic or Monogramming. The available embroidery motifs can be selected from the BERNINA Cloud, which provides a considerable variety of different designs according to your wishes.

S1425 T-shirt “Monster Party” Designing one’s own T-shirt might be great fun even for our youngest. With Toolbox you can create your own funny monsters individually by choosing the various elements – body, eyes, mouth, arms and legs – from a wide range of options.

S1426 T-shirt “Summertime” Combine the favourite motifs of your child, add lettering and your unique T-shirt is simply perfect. The cute owls are only one of the wide choice of designs you will find in the BERNINA Cloud.

S1427 Shoe decoration Monograms are often used to personalise items – but we find that they look great as a motif ! One, two, three and your new individual sneakers are completed !

S1428 Cap A hip cap is helpful to keep a cool head in summer.

Whether with your own initials or maybe the initials of your favourite band – the danger of mix-ups is definitely out of question. Using the embroidery hoop inset “Hoop ‘N’ Buddyz” for the large oval embroidery hoop, embroidery is child's play.

S port ive, Masc uline The perfect companion for him ! The T-shirt, bag and accessories are simple and functional, yet personalised and refined – with that special something.

S1420 T-shirt Whether for sports or leisure – the chucks with his initials are a true eyecatcher. Good luck for those of you who own an embroidery machine; you can embroider the T-shirt on the free arm. Otherwise you can follow the outlines by sewing straight stitches or differently wide satin stitches.

S1421 Bag A “Weekender” like this also cheers up during the week and absolutely suits “Him” for the weekend shopping !

The asymmetrical topstitching highlights the batting and brings dynamic into the design. The rotary closure and the buckles are not only decoration but fully functional.

S1422 Patches Headphones and record player remind us of the good days. The embroidery motifs can be purchased via embroderyonline.com. On jackets or bags they can be either a trendy accessory or hedge worn-out areas, for example on his favourite pullover.

S1423 Cable pocket Headphones and charging cables are our constant companion nowadays. But nobody wants a cable tangle !

Here comes the practical cable pocket which can be hooked at the belt or on a bag. The checked pattern is sewn in no time using handicraft yarn and decorative stitches and is thus also suited for larger areas.
