t-shirt number 6 !!!

My final t-shirt !!!! :D
I am so happy with my final outcome, even though I did not have time to complete all the parrot heads for the Pop art effect. Orginally there were four parrot heads, but I am soo happy with this end result.

t-shirt number 5 !!!

Now on these images that you see are the final embroidered parrot heads.

These took me forever to complete.

I used the technique split stitch as I used on my sample on the previous entry.

t-shirt number 4!!!

Here I have sewn in the outline with red thread

using the same technique, split stitch.

I am happy with this outcome, because it has given me the 3 dimensional effect that I was looking for.

This sample I used for my final design.

t-shirt number 3!!!

(sorry guys you cannot see all the pictures my stupid computer has deleted them :()

I will try explain the best I can, basically I had red, yellow and blue shoelaces sewn on, using the same method at picture number one, anyway so after that what I did was I got a template and put it over the shoelaces.

The picture you see to your left is a sample and what I did is I put the template over the shoelaces and then I embroidered around the outside using a method called split stitch.

On my next entry you will see what split stitch is and how my sample turned out.

t-shirt number 2!!!

OOPSSSS!!!!

something went wrong...

For this image I had used the industrial machine, using straight stitch.

There you see that I have sewn in the back of the t-shirt.

Because what I had to do was I had the interfacing fabric underneath, so the back the t-shirt would not get caught.

t-shirt number1!!!

The image you see above is the laces sewn on with straight stitch, for this I used an industrial machine.

Okaii so you have seen the inspiration of my Hugo Boss T-shirt (competition) AS IF me designing for Hugo Boss you got to be kidding me!!!

Anyway Im starting with my login process of my t-shirt.

Im going to explain to you what is happening with the login process of my t-shirt design and how I made this t-shirt.

The image that you see above shows the end process of shredding the shoelaces and dyeing the laces and sewn on to the t-shirt.

For this technique I firstly shredded shoelaces, which i dyed in red, yellow and blue ink, because for some none known reason fabric dye would not work :/.

So after shredding the shoelaces, I put interfacing under the t-shirt fabric, to make the fabric stiff. So after that I layered out the shoelaces and I straight stitched the laces on to give the feathered effect that I wanted.

Bold Bright Rubix Cubeee

Helloo Everyone :)
Ok this entry is a bit random but I find rubix cubes so cool
I found these images whilst researching plastic and Pop Art.

Pop Art was an inspiration for my Hugo Boss t-shirt design (competition entry) on my last brief.
I love using bright, bold, flamboyant colours in my work and I wanted my t-shirt design to stand out and reflect the Pop art look.

Get your shades out it's summer!!

Hellooo...

Another entry :)

On this entry I want to talk about summer, because it's a good time and everybody's going away to somewhere hot to get a tan and have a good holiday.

So I was looking at Wacky Shades, I found these images whilst looking through the internet for something interesting to put on my blog. Take a look and comment.

The two images above are a complete contrast. The top image reflect the heat of the sun, melting the plastic and the bottom image reflects summer colours and once again pop art.

This is another image I took whilst in Zara Men.
The reason for this entry is because I love fashion, this image in particular is a good casual look for men. This reminds me of something that Enrique (pop singer) would wear.

Different Trends

Here is jamess >>>> looking cool with a shirt that he found in Zara Men.

One of my favorite hobbies in life is shopping...

I love it.

Whilst shopping with my friends I look at different trends. You know whats in fashion now!!!

so whilst shopping with my mate James I took a few pictures.

The image you see above is the shop Zara Men.

There seem to be alot of checked shirts around teamed with jeans. The checks came in various sizes.

Hello Everyone

= The image above shows an example on how the models image is on the rail to show the model on what garments she is to be fitted in..

Hey Bloggers sorry for not posting anything new for a while =(
I have been SO busy it's untrue.
Anyway I will share with you on what I have been up to, well where to start.
After half term of shopping and looking different trends in shops I had fittings week at college for the Mid Cheshire College Fashion Show 2010, your probably wondering what fittings week means, well all it means is we find models and we fit our garments that we have created to go on the catwalk.
During fittings week I learnt quite a lot on how it works, for example finding the right model and getting the shoes and the tights and accessories for the garment.
My next entry you will see the Mid Cheshire Fashion Show 2010 I shall put up a video of the show so you can see for yourselves how much work and effort our college has put in and how fantastic it was to be part of.

Rihanna Fan!! Under my umbrella ella ella eh eh

Todayyy I was talking to my friend James Singleton about his favorite type of music and was music acts that he likes and he said I love Rihanna (pop singer).

He went to her gig on sunday the weekend just gone and he took some stunning pictures of Rihanna. James asked me if I wanted some of the pictures for inspiration and the images above are the ones that I wanted. I am attrcted to these images, because again I am an avant garde fan and I would love to buy one of these outfits. When I look at these garments that Rihanna is wearing they totally remind me of Lady Gaga, I mean just look at the avant garde detail!!

Okaii to be honest I wouldn't actually wear them but I would buy them.

The image above is from http://www.needlework-tips-techniques.com/. The stems have been created using a Fly stitch and the flowers have been created using French Knots.
Hello : )

Recently in college I have been creating embroidary samples for some of my pages in my sketch book. I am working on my last project of the year (FMP) and have to transfer my design on to a t-shirt. At the moment I am researching the various methods I could use to do this. I found a book in the library called 'The Art of Embroidary', I found it really useful for finding the different stitches that could possibly be used for my final outcome.

In my next post you will see a photo of two samples I have created using embroidary stitches I have learnt from this book.

I have completed my shirt and I hope you do like it???.....Comment please...

This shirt is going in the end of fashion show. I have completed my shirt and I am so happy with my final garment, I never thought that my shirt end perfectly.

But it is not quite finished yet, beause I am going to accessories it a bit by adding three thin belts to give the shirt more shape and femeninity.

Heyyyy well today I am moving away from the vintage theme and I am going to be showing you what I have been doing in college. For our textiles project, I was given a shirt and I had to choose a theme and I chose sea life. I had to use techniques learnt to adapt the shirt and convey my theme on the shirt. This image is the back of the shirt and the padded shapes have been taken originally from the jelly fish.

This is the orginal jellyfish image I used for my final design.

OKayyyy so I was looking at http://burymeinthisdress.com/ and I came across a avant-garde designer called Sandra Backlund. I really like this image shown, because of the spikey texture to the garment. After researching I found out that Backlund has been inspired by what is called the 'INK BLOT TEST' I researched what an ink blot test is and what it is, is its ink splattered on to a piece of card and shown to the patients to get a response and they record each response and they use this method in hospitals.

Hello
This time on my blog I have taken my vintage obsession further by doing a bit of shopping in Manchester in the Vintage shop.
Me and my friend Allie went to Manchester to take a look at the vintage fashion.... Hope you like the photos.

Test 3

Oooo another picture which does remind me of vintage, e.g like the converse reminds me of you know the rock kids in the 80/90's....

I Love Vintage

My name is Corrie and this will be my first blog entry on my very first blog. I will be looking and reflecting on things of interest to me. http://www.myvintage.co.uk/ being the first. I came across this website as I have a passion for vintage clothing. This particular website stood out to me because when I began reading in my naivety I did not realise that the labels they were selling on the website were classed as vintage. I found this website to be informative and have some really unique one of pieces. it has vintage design collections from the 1920's to the 1980's and stocks labels such as Kenzo, Biba, Prada, Mary Quant and Chanel. It even has a sale rail, which is good for students like me as you can pick up a bargain at around £15. It even has a trends section to help you keep bang up to date with the looks. I highly recommend taking a peep!!!
