2.5

On the final project things of the whole assignment things are shifting more into textiles.

Our goal is to try to replicate 3 previous projects by using fabric.

The first one is a daffodil: I’ve used a gold printed fabric and tried to create the flower by cutting and sewing all pieces together.

This had created two problems:

Firstly , the flower couldn’t be presented on its own as it would look a small of fabric with pieces put together .

the second one was the whole piece wasn’t stable enough to hold them pieces together.

That’s why I’ve sewn them all on a piece of black fabric:

It looks quite effective and because the swatch is black it helps it stand out a bit more.

When I was sewing the flower pieces on the black garment I realized the black fabric was making pleats which made the flower stand out even better:

I was really pleased with how it looked like.

As a second project I’ve used the “woven” paper as an inspiration.

I’ve used knitted ribbon and scissors to create holes so I can get it through.

the vertical ribs where very good to help me to create equal spacing as well as tassels.

When I was finished I thought that I had to add more on:

So again I’ve stitched it in a way pleats where created.

As my third project I wanted to use one of my older projects from <<take 2 old>>.

Its the daffodil :

Knitted on a 10 gauge machine using my own graph and knitting program and then embellished by myself using embroidery yarn :

that was the initial sketch
that is the knitted swatch
this is how it looks like after the hand embroidery on to it.
