The past week has been all about the making and manufacture of my textile garment, and after hours of weaving and hours or embroidery my shorts and t-shirt are done! The process of my shorts was to bondaweb felt onto the cotton drill in the pattern I created on one of final samples and embroid on top of it which was created with a pattern inspired by research in my sketchbook.The process of my t-shirt was reverse applique which consisted of weaving a layer to go underneath the jersey, embroidering shapes on the jersey and then cutting the middle out to reveal the weave.
Overall I’m really pleased with the outcome of these two garments, and they compliment each other perfectly, can’t wait to finish the dress!
