Colours & Circles!

The circles didn't work out! so I decided to cut them out & have a play.

I don't like the whole piece! I have decided to cut it into smaller pieces! & have an explore!

Hmmm? 15minutes each are you worth it!!

I wanted to explore using dissolvable fabric as a textile design for fashion feature taking inspirations from earlier samples. The picture isn't very clear, but the black is machine stitch & the circles are my embroidered samples. I should have made the stitch more sparse so it looked lacy rather than a thick whole piece which is what it came out like! Grrr!

Digital Print.

I decided on a final pattern for my digital print, I wanted the fabric to be bold & bright so i decided on a bigger spot print to show off the detail in each circle. I really like the quality of the print & it has, I think a 1950's feel to it, again the picture quality isnt great.

My colour palette has changed quite dramatically since developing my ideas, I also wanted my outcome to be on trend so this has obviously had an impact throughout my development stages. The teal coloured fabric is a colour I am pondering for one of my final outcomes. I wanted a different angle to go at so i have been embroidering straight onto the fabric to see if this adds a different quality that I may want to take advantage of!

After experimenting with different

• Styles
• Stitches
• Colours
• Sizes
• Thickness of lines

I decided on two that I prefer, The colour pallette was inspired by the original disolvable fabric sample. Apologies for the picture, the quality from the scanner has for some reason become slightly clouded.

Quick designs of styles/shapes/colours I would maybe think about..

Ive made some simple designs so I can play around with shapes of garments, styles, colours and placement.

I wanted to develop my disolvable fabric embroidery, I did this by changing simple aspects such as colours & sizes. I also experimented with folding the samples to add thickness and layers.
