Special Delivery and Toiling

Much to my excitement a very special package arrived the other day... MY DIGITAL PRINTS! Yay! :D

Had to wait till I could get into the studio to photograph it though as its to bit to big to lay out at home, didn't really have enough left over space in the studio either to be honest, its 3 meters by 1.5 meters. It's my previous images from the last post finally printed out onto polyester jersey - still feels lovely and soft though, very high quality fabric so you can't tell the difference :) But I had to have the polyester version so it could be colourset which means I can get it wet and it wont wash off or run :D

Well chuffed! My band balance might not be after it cost me £170, but I don't care right now, I'm just super happy with how it came out :D 


This section is of the images enlarged/repeated so I can turn them into the slouch top I showed you in a previous post.


While I'm posting I figured I'd show you some more updates of the clothes I'm making... They're really simple but with interesting details, they're designed more to showcase the print, I didn't want to add in to much detail when pattern cutting because I didn't want it to become to much. Once dully made up I think they'll be a nice balance between the two :)
This is the maxi dress, its just a toile (which means a practice version) the real one will be hand printed :)




Here's the skirt - still need to fiddle with it a bit more as it doesn't quite sit right, however I think it'll look much better when its printed and bound too :)



That's all from me, hopefully you'll have a toile of my cape to see tomorrow. :)

    OMG! you paid 170£ for polyester with digital print? I mean, the same as Inkjet print?
    Next time you should do it in Portugal, you would pay a lot less than that, even with shipping!
    Please google about WeDapit and e-mail them just to make sure that I'm not deceiving you xD

      Its a pretty standard price over here, a little more that usual because it was a faster delivery but not much, but thanks I will definitely check that out!! :)

    Oooooh those prints are looking pretty cool! And oh my gosh you know how to make dresses and skirts! This is the reason why I begged my mother to enroll me in a pattern-making class! Very cool :)

Screen Printing - Bitmapping

So the other day at uni we learnt a little tip to add depth to our screen prints, its called bitmapping First load the image you want to use in photoshop Heres mine - its something I'm looking at using for mothers day The you'll need to convert you image to Grayscale - to do this go to [Image] [Mode] [Grayscale] You'll then need to adjust the contrast of the image to help add depth later - to do this [Image] [Adjustment] [Levels], play around with the slider until you get the desired effect - you can also use [Brightness/contrast] but I prefer Levels Your image must be a minimum of 150ppi, although it is better to be 300ppi. To adjust the number of pixels within your image select [Image] [Image Size] and you can change the resolution Now its time to Bitmap the image - to do this go to [Image] [Mode] [Bitmap] - this will open this window change all of the settings to be the same as those in the image. Depending on your type of screen mesh you may need to adjust the...

10 Most Shocking Tennis Outfits Ever

This week sees the start of Wimbledon and as Wimbledon is the smartest, most well dressed tournament there is, I thought it would be fun if we looked back at some of tennis' biggest fashion blunders. At number 10 we have Anne White from Wimbledon, it may have been 1985 Anne but that doesn't excuse turning up in your pyjamas to work. Next up we have tennis' very own Lady Gaga, Bethanie Mattek, who is famous for her outrageous dress sense, although this outfit from the 2007 US Open is relatively tame for her. At number 8 we have the five times Wimbledon champion Serena Williams with her biker inspired look from the Australian Open in 2004. Nice shin pads Serena. At number 7 sees Bethanie again, this time dressed as a cowgirl at the 2005 US Open. You're playing tennis Beth, not attending a fancy dress party!  Bethanie is still holding on to the title of worst dressed tennis player at number 6, sporting this design from Alex Nomble at Wim...

Roberto Cavalli Fashion Illustrations

While I was a Fashion and Textiles Design student I was forever looking for the top designer's fashion illustrations, as I always found them so inspirational. I've recently stumbled across some I really love by Roberto Cavalli, so I thought I share them with you. This first two are designs made for Cindy Crawford and Georgia May Jagger, and they are amazing. Copyright of Roberto Cavalli This one below is for the lovely Sharon Stone. The snake back detail will look incredible, and adds a perfect little twist to the classic strapped back/backless dress. The next one was designed for Liu Wen, and it's my favourite. The colour and the indication of the pattern are beautiful. I love the expressive lines of the design and how subtle shading shows how the dress will fall. You could only expect the best from an amazing designer like Roberto Cavalli and he definitely delivers. Copyright of Roberto Cavalli There is no need to try and imagine how the finishe...
