Stitch block

I REALLY REALLY DISLIKE SEWING MACHINES...
I spent my foundation degree hating them, and I have spent my stitch block falling out with them yet again. My worst enemy. However I do enjoy stitch as it is so broad. 

Starting from scratch didn't help me, just made me go through the same process of frustration. 

It took me way longer than expected to complete my samples because every time the bobbin thread ran out for some reason it took me ages to thread it through again.

I have learnt many new techniques of stitch through this block. to begin with we were shown various ways of creating looks which represent our drawings. My drawings were of my pop up collection of my jewellery focusing on chains and interlocking.

I kept my colour pallet to black and white after some thought of using oranges and pinks because I had some nice fabrics in that colour which I have done some development work with. I have experimented melting plastics, using the heat press, creating my own yarns and stencil cutting.








Need to upload pictures of my samples and development.
