AS Textiles


These images are of my AS Textiles final project dress. My theme was surfing and i decided to make a summer dress with the hibiscus flower as a screen print on Muslin. I worked into some of the individual flowers using applique and beading. To make the motif on the front soluble fabric was free-stiched into.

Old School





These images are of a childrens dress that I made for GCSE Textiles. Even though I made it manyyears ago I am still very proud of it. The concept was to make a little girls dressing up outfit inspired by Flower Fairies. I decided not to take the theme too litterally by including wings. The skirt was supposed to look like petals, and I used a roll-hem foot to create the shape of the individuial pieces.
This is one of the inspirational images I took my idea from.
