Make the seam in the centre of the filling so you have two neat edges to poke out from between your biscuit sandwich. Sew up the two end edges.

Turn right side out using the opening you left in the centre seam.

Using dark brown yarn, sew through all three layers: top, filling and bottom.

Lace & openwork stitches

Julie Oparka

Encompassing all the know-how essential for learning to crochet, this comprehensive guide is designed to help its readers learn and master every skill before moving on to the next.

Fans

Mesh

A fan is a larger group of treble crochet increases and may be worked over several rows.

Mesh patterns are squares of open stitches that make a lightweight fabric and can be embellished with surface crochet or woven fibres such as ribbons or yarn.

Trellis

Shells

A trellis stitch pattern is created by working a series of chain loops that are anchored into the loops of the previous row. The trellis stitch also makes a lovely background for shell and fan stitches to create openwork lace patterns.

A shell stitch is a group of treble crochet stitches worked into one stitch (typically 3 to 5 treble crochet). Since this is an increase stitch, the shell also has skipped stitches on both sides to accommodate the increase.

Including over thirty fun and fabulous projects, this book will last a lifetime as your essential crochet companion! ■ June 2013 • £19.99 • Hardback • 224pp • 500+ colour illustrations • 9781408181614 • Europe

Design Development

Source material Firstly, you need to consider your source material, and how this may be translated into a design that could be used for silkscreen printing.

There are limitless ways to generate initial designs, including sketchbook drawings, photographs, collages, book illustrations, scanned images, Letraset and computer-generated designs. This source material can be further manipulated – cut and pasted, enlarged, overlaid, repeated and reproduced – to create a design you may wish to transfer to silkscreen.

‘A serious and wonderful handbook’ Fibre Art Mixed Media

The quality of your original image will contribute to the outcome of your final design. You can use this to your advantage: for example, handpainted brushstrokes or poor resolution can often produce interesting results as marks or imagery break down during enlarging, copying or transferring processes. various methods of image manipulation (e.g.

Photoshop) can add further distortion, and experimenting with a range of possibilities at this stage can lead to some unique designs.

01 A selection of opaque materials

Heat press is a relatively new way of embellishing, decorating, fusing and layering fabrics, and Heat Transfer Techniques is the first book to take an in-depth look at this exciting area.

In keeping with the style of the rest of the book, I will approach the development of design work from a practical perspective, covering different methods to consider when producing designs to be transferred onto silkscreen or ‘screen-ready’ artwork. This involves creating a ‘positive’, i.e. any opaque image or design on any translucent surface.

There are two essential outcomes: first to produce an opaque or semi-opaque design; and second, to produce the design on a transparent surface, e.g. black lines on tracing paper.

and translucent surfaces. Designs for silkscreen printing. Photo: FXP Photography.

In this chapter I will give an overview of some of the methods you can use to generate designs, before these are transferred onto silkscreen. They can then be used together with a number of heat-press techniques, e.g. to print a flock or foil design.

There are several books available that focus on developing designs and artwork; these describe in detail how to harness or record initial inspiration, as well as how to utilize different methods and techniques during the design process (see Further Reading at the end of this book).

Spinning Wool

Sample 2: Cormo

Beyond the Basics

Suggestions for spinning This wool should be spun into a fine yarn with 15 twists per 2.5cm (1in) in the washed, plied yarn. It can be spun woollen, semi-woollen, worsted or semi-worsted.

Suggested end uses Knitting: A soft sweater or jersey, scarves, shawls, throws.

Weaving: This yarn can be used for clothing fabric, which can be worn next to the skin, scarves, shawls.

Anne Field

Staple length: 15cm (6in) Staple shape: pointed tip Crimp pattern: 3 crimps per 2.5cm (1in) Fibre size: thick Colour: white Lustre: high Bulk: low Cleanliness: clean Soundness: no break Source of wool: Highside Farm Wools and Woollens, Bowbank, Middleton-in-Teesdale, County Durham, DL12 0NT, UK. www.highsidefarmwool.co.uk Suggestions for spinning This wool should be spun into a thick yarn with 3 twists to 2.5cm (1in) in the plied, washed yarn. Because of its length, this wool would make a strong worsted yarn, but it could also be spun semi-woollen. The staple length will make it difficult to hand or drum card.

Suggested end uses Knitting: Hard-wearing outdoor garments.

Weaving: Makes a good warp yarn if spun into a fine worsted. Can be used for rugs and upholstery, and coating fabric, where the high lustre and strength of this wool will be useful.

Breed inForMaTion: CorMo origin: Australia derivation: Corriedale crossed with Saxon Merino.

Fleece type: The fleece is fine and consistent with a regular crimp.

The micron count is between 20–23. This breed can withstand cold and wet conditions better than Merino.

Breed inForMaTion: TeeSWaTer origin: UK Fleece type: This breed resembles Wensleydale, but is a better meat producer. It is used as a cross with other breeds to produce the Masham crossbreed. The micron count ranges from 30–36.

Stitched in Scandinavia

muNkjacka ”kuLLa” De blommande folkdräktsjackorna från Floda i Dalarna inspirerar med sina överdådiga broderier. Men nuförtiden använder inte så många männi­ skor folkdräkt, utan snarare lättburna trikåkläder. Varför inte kombinera de två stilarna?

Det här är ett rätt stort projekt som tar sin lilla tid. Dessutom krävs både vana och tålamod för att få till broderierna inne i ärmarna, eftersom man inte syr på ett slätt tyg.

Gör så här: För över mönstren till kartong eller stadigt papper och klipp ut mallarna. Placera ut dem på munkjackan där du tycker att det passar. Det är lättast att göra detta om någon har den på sig, så att det verkligen syns hur mönstren formas efter kroppen. Rita runt konturerna med märkpenna.

Börja med de största blommorna, fyll på med mindre samt blad och rankor.

Brodera påsöm, använd sybåge där det är möjligt. Var försiktig så att inte stygnen drar ihop sig för mycket, särskilt på ärmarna.

3 Prepare the next layer while the background paint and layers dry. take a different weight of paper – tracing paper or another transparent paper works well – and mono print, draw or paint an image onto it.

TIP

Be careful when burning the edges. use safety matches and light them in an open space – preferably over the sink so that water is accessible to extinguish the flame if necessary. You may need to experiment to get the edge you require.

Combining Print and Mixed Media with Stitch

Sandeep Jandu Stitching Pictures explains the methods, materials and techniques that contemporary makers are using to create pictures using stitch.

chAPter 7

1 take some old cardboard and carefully tear out a rough square. carefully burn around the edges to achieve a natural yet rough edge.

2 Prepare your first layer, thinking carefully about your colour palette. try using darker colours, and work freely to create interesting effects and unusual shades. You may prefer to use ink or wax crayons to achieve a less polished, rougher finish.

DRESSMAKING

The Vintage Pattern Selector Jo Barnfield This is the ultimate handbook in demonstrating how to choose the right fabric, colour palettes, styles, silhouettes and patterns in order to create contemporary pieces that reference timeless styles and designs.

CHAPTER 3: SKIRTS

P.63

The circle skirt: 1950s Circle skirts became popular in the 1950s. Following World War II, dress restrictions were lifted, hemlines dropped and skirts became fuller as part of Christian Dior’s New Look.

Circle skirts are named after their construction; they are usually made from a large circular piece of fabric with a cut-out in the centre for the waist (although cheaper circle skirts are cut in sections to make one or more circles).

The circular construction of the style accentuates the feminine shape and hangs smoothly from the waist without darts, pleats or gathers. Petticoats can be worn underneath to achieve the full effect and to make more of a distinction between the narrow waist and the full skirt.

Although there were different varieties of the circle skirt available in the 1950s, poodle skirts are the best known; these are made from wool felt and decorated with appliqués, embroidery and other embellishments. The rise in popularity of the circle skirt coincided with the emergence of rock ‘n’ roll music, and the flowing fullness of the circle skirt allowed its wearer to twirl and dance freely and energetically to the music.
