I was trying out different blue fabrics as this is one of the colours i'm using for my colour palette. I dont particularly like the fabric but I do like the pale blue/duck egg blue. I had some circle cardboard cut outs which I thought would be something good to stitch around for a sample. Again I was trying new techniques and methods and trying to find what works best for the type of product I am planning to design. I think I should have used a different colour thread to stitch with to make it eye catching as this is what children are drawn to. I dont think this sample is suitable for the designs I am going to make.
This is one of my original digital prints It wasnt the colours I liked and thought it was to rough and not up to a professional standard for t-shirts. I decided to applique' with it using small parts of grey fabric and black leather pieces. I stitched around the fabrics using a contrasting blue. I feel the stitch and colours work really well together and could work very well for my final designs if I carefully consider placement and stitch. I was trying out different kinds of embellishments and thought the buttons and the colours of the fabric sit well together. This kind of embellishment is to feminine for boys clothing and has been used so many times before I want to think of something which isnt usually used .
My previous sample I wasn't very happy with the colour of the fabric so I have put my design into photoshop and changed the colours to suit my colour palette. I used a metallic stitch which I absolutely love and think this is the kind of thread I need to be using on my finals. Its eye catching, very on thread but unique and this is type of design that I feel could fill a whole in the market. I added small beads and french knots to this sample but I don't think this looks as good at just the hand embroidery plain stitches. I think this sample would look really good if it was scaled down and added to the shoulder of the shirt reflecting the same stitch and image on the opposite side. I think a plain white t-shirt would be best suited as this kind of stitch and design is very busy so all the focus would be on the stitch.
