”There is a long tradition within textiles and particularly embroidery of reappropriation. The ‘good’ part of a garment being cut down and re-used; appliques that can be moved to another garment; changeable collars or cuffs used for ‘best’.
Small pieces of decoration that lift a garment, when it is impractical or unaffordable to have the whole piece covered. These wearable art pieces fit into this history, the wearer can add embellishment where and when they want it with no sewing required.”
