Listen I'm a little drunk but... yarn crafts are so important. Textile arts are the backbone of society. All of us take our clothing and accessories and upholstery for granted and it's honestly shocking

I used to buy affordable t-shirts and they were comfy and nice, now I buy them in the same price range and they're sandpaper. They don't wick away moisture and the print comes undone after two washes. I buy denim and the crotch falls apart in months. I read about how modern Singer sewing machines are disappointing and then look at the delicate machining and the beautiful finishes on my 1857 machine and wonder if this is progress?!

Reblog if you're desperate for clothing that doesn't feel like sandpaper or if you like machines that go thunk instead of going obsolete in two years

Fashion textile elective.

Some of my line-up.

Started to choose colour. I went mostly with the original colour in my print outs.

After doing some research I decide to add more variety to the restbif my pieces, influence by Kevin Germainer and Commes des Garçon

My expmental with fashion has been inspiring and really interesting and creative, although fashion will not be my choice in the future .I love textile and I have learned not to held back by lack ok knowledge.

In discussion with Giordana, I had initially changed the design above as I didn’t think it was possible to make a sleeve like the above work. Giordana drew me a quick pattern and explained how to make it, along with research I realised not to be restricted by my own assumptions of limitations. I redesigned in my original formate and was pleased to keep my ideas.

In my designs you can see that I’ve kept with the original concept of movement , washing machines spins, spin cycle, splats, stains and flowing liquid. I felt I have achieve to shoe movement in my line up by using material and form that will flow and look like splats/stains.

Over all I have enjoyed the process and will bring the design element into sculpture. I feel designing clothes for a body if a form of sculpture, building form to achieve different effects.

Tatreez (Arabic: تطريز) is a type of traditional Palestinian embroidery. Tatreez uses traditional cross-stitch embroidery and is practiced largely among women. The craft was originally practiced in rural areas of Palestine, but is now common across the Palestinian diaspora. Historically, each village in Palestine had their own tatreez patterns. The landscape was a major source of inspiration for the patterns and motifs, which speaks to the variation in style that was common to see among all of the different tatreez expressions that were particular to each Palestinian village.

After the violent displacement and dispossession of Palestinians in 1948, people were living together in refugee camps. The different styles of tatreez became less distinct and have continued to evolve with the diaspora. Following 1948, tatreez evolved to reflect the experiences of Palestinians. Palestinian women began to incorporate the Palestinian flag and its colors into their tatreez as a means of resistance to the occupation of Palestine. Consequently, tatreez became an expression of the identity, heritage and resistance of Palestinian women and their dedication to preserve their ancient culture.
