Sometimes i feel like there's so much beauty in the world, i feel like i can't take it.

Shape Making

My finished toile:

 I came across these images whilst looking for inspiration for a project with the title, 'shape making'. The brief was to create interesting shapes for a fashion garment that moves away from the traditional western silhouette. These do that perfectly. I love the combination of 3D design and knitted fabrics. Seeing these really inspired me for my next project.

my finished top!

Knitted Nostalgia

Old research:

I have used the research from a previous project 'Nostalgia', and i've explored the ways that i can recreate my work in knit. Here are some of the samples i have developed.

Letter print onto knit:

Envelope print:

Printed writing and embroidered sample:

Gold splats on knit:

Printed writing on to knit:

My knitted origami butterfly:

Ladder knit:

The crop top i'm making will be made mostly from this knitted fabric. Panels on the front of the top will be plain knit with a print over the top and then embroidered on top.
