My favorite fabric embellishments are ric rac and fabric ruffles. You just can't ever have too many ruffles on little girls clothing.

I'm particularly taken by the folded ribbon embellishments shown by Ruth Singer in her sewing and embellishment books. They look complicated to make but aren't, and look very professional
