Garments

A couple of garment halves.

12 gg dubied
The garment on the right has been created using wool and the garment on the right has been created using spun silk, which creates an amazing fabric, but requires steam pressing every time it is folded, as it creases very quickly!




I managed to get hold of two amazing models for my full garments........

Ella

For the full picture & .......

Jody

for close ups.

They were both very patient and stunning...........even without makeup!  Thanks must also go to the photographers Markus and Jo.

The samples.

A closer look at the samples - mainly knitted with monofilament.  The sequins have been transfer printed and knitted into the samples.

Bits and pieces!

A selection of self covered buttons (waste not, want not!) and sequins which have been printed by me with my own designs, as well as sequins knitted into fabric. Simple, yet effective.

Transfer printing has finally clicked!!

Knit - Year 2

Here is some Monarch knitted fabric. I chose to have my designs knitted in plain white yarns of polyester, tencel and lycra, to enable me to dye the fabric in the colours I chose, rather than colours from the shelf.

More year 2 images to follow.

Knit - Year 1 - Rotation 2

This project was based on re-interpretation of various shapes by artists like Lucienne Day, Ben Nicholson, Sonia Delauney, etc..

I made a sleeve using a domestic machine and 7 gauge dubied.
