My Work: Start or term until now


After struggling with my written work over Christmas I found it hard to get back into the making aspect of my course. I decided I needed to get back to working with discarded garments so I looked at some of the shirts I had taken from LMB. I feel I need to create more exciting seams that join the fabrics together so took inspiration from some of the shirts and some tutorials on Vimeo. I need to practice these seams to make them look as professional as possible, I do not want my textiles to look like an average homemade recycling project. I have also started looking at some traditional Indian embroidery techniques, the stitch in the picture is a Rabari stitch from Rajasthan.
