Decorated clothing needs a little extra attention to maintain its appearance. After adding beaded bird patches to a garment, check the care requirements of both the base fabric and the embellishment. Hand washing may be appropriate for some pieces, while others may require specialist care. Avoid aggressive scrubbing over beads and embroidery, and allow the garment to dry according to its fabric-care instructions. Indian Laces and Fabric encourages creative use of decorative textile details. With suitable care, you can help preserve the patch's colour, stitching, and overall finish.
