sew the cast-on and cast-off edges together,

leaving a 3-cm (1-in) opening at one end which you

will use to turn the knitting to the right side later.

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.

Bourbon biscuitsThe bourbon is so simple to make, yet

looks realistic with just the addition of a

few holes on the top and bottom. Choose

a rich dark chocolate brown yarn for the

biscuit and a paler brown for the creamy

filling.

techniques

Lace & openwork stitches

ShellsA 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.

TrellisA 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.

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

MeshMesh 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.

Making UP* Sew in any loose ends. Work any

Swiss darning before washing. Machine wash all the pieces before sewing up (see ball band for instructions).

* Placing RS together pin the side panel all round the edge of front of robot easing it in place, stitch using back stitch. Attach the back of the robot to the side panel in the same way.

* Stuff the head firmly with toy stuffing.

* Sew the base on to the bottom of the robot leaving one side edge open. Stuff the body with a mix of toy stuffing and rice, sew up the remaining seam on the base.

* Sew the side seams of the arms, leaving an opening. Stuff with toy stuffing and attach to the body.

* Cut out two large discs and two small discs from the felt, attach one large disc, one small one and a button to each side of the head.

* To make the robot ‘claw’, cut out 4 equal crescent shapes from the felt. Sew two pieces together for each claw and attach to the bottom of the arms.

Design Development

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).

01 A selection of opaque materials and translucent surfaces. Designs for silkscreen printing. Photo: FXP Photography.

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.

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.

The quality of your original image will contribute to the outcome of your final design. You can use this to your advantage: for example, hand-painted 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.

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.

Suggestions for spinningThis 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 usesKnitting: 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.

muNkjacka ”kuLLa”

De blommande folkdräktsjackorna från Floda i Dalarna inspirerar med sina överdådiga broderier. Men nuförtiden använder inte så många människor 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.

Teknik: påsömMaterial: 9 ullgarn, tunagarn eller motsvarande, i olika färger 9 en enfärgad munkjacka i bomullstrikåMönster: Se sidorna 99–100.

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. Tvätta den färdiga munkjackan, antingen för hand eller på ullprogram, och låt plantorka.

Combining Print and Mixed Media with Stitch

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

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.

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.

TIP Your sketchbook is

important here. think about

different compositions. this

first layer should contain

plenty of visual interest yet

not over-power the finished

artwork.

TIP Mixing paints

directly on to the cardboard

will result in a subtle yet

textured finish.

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.

4 once this image is dry, scratch into parts of it using a sharp object such as a blunt blade. this will give the surface a worn look and can be used if you want to scratch away some of the mono print to break up the design.

TIP When scratching

the surface do not use

anything too sharp as it

may tear the paper.

The circle skirt: 1950s

CHAPTER 3: SKIRTS

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.

WHO: The full shape of the circle skirt came

about as part of Christian Dior’s New Look;

Juli Lynne Charlot is credited as being the

original designer of the poodle skirt.

WHY: Because of its simple shape, the circle

skirt is easy to make and embellish. The full

skirt shape also made it suitable for dancing

to energetic rock ’n’ roll music.

VARIATIONS: Variations include the poodle

skirt, conversation skirt, Mexican circle

skirt, three-quarter circle skirt and

semi-circle skirt.

SIMILAR STYLES: Prom dress, page 26

PATTERNS TO MATCH WITH: Maxi dress, page 36;

1940s slip, page 120; bustier, page 124

Style and uses, then and now

FABRIC Then: Poodle skirts were made from wool

felt and decorated with felt appliqués, while

more formal skirts were made from lighter

fabrics such as silk, calico or cotton.

Now: All manner of fabrics can be used

to create a circle skirt. Lightweight cottons

allow for more flow, while polyester or poly

blends can result in a relatively wrinkle-free

skirt. If you are a beginner sewer, avoid using

stretchy or satiny fabrics, as they are harder

to work with.

LENGTH Then: Typical lengths varied from

below-knee to mid-calf.

Now: Retro-style skirts are similar

lengths today, but circle skirts are often

worn higher, typically around knee-length

or above-the-knee.

STYLE Then: Poodle skirts decorated with

appliqué embellishments were the

most popular style in the 1950s and

were worn with or without a petticoat.

Now: Circle skirts vary more in terms of

fabrics and lengths. Different cuts, such

as the semi-circle skirt, are also available.

COLOURS Then: Poodle skirts were typically made

in solid bold colours, often pink and powder

blue. Mexican circle skirts were made

from bright eye-catching fabrics or were

handpainted in bright colours and trimmed

with sequins.

Now: The basic circle-skirt design

can support a wide variety of colours and

patterns. Use solid colurs with appliqué

finishes for a more retro look, or bright

floral, geometric or tartan prints for a

bolder statement.

MATCHED WITH Then: Teenage girls in the 1950s wore

their poodle skirts with tight-fitting

sweaters or short-sleeved blouses, bobby

(ankle) socks, and saddle or white lace-up

canvas shoes. A ruffled petticoat or slip was

also worn under the skirt to make it stand

out fully. Long hair was tied up into a

ponytail or a sheer scarf was worn like

a hairband.

Now: Circle skirts with wide waistbands

are best worn with a loose-fitting blouse,

while circle skirts with narrower waistbands

look best balanced with a more fitted top

such as a camisole, T-shirt, blouse or sweater.

For a more retro look, pair with a cinch belt,

a Peter Pan blouse and a pair of Oxfords.

SEWING TIPS• If you want more body in a skirt, consider

a one-and-a-half circle, which involves

gathering one circle at the back and then

half at the front. Just add another layer

of fabric to the pattern. The easiest thing

to do with the waist is to fold it over and

insert elastic. A more sophisticated

approach is to make a separate casing

and sew this onto your skirt, then thread

elastic through the casing. Use a band and

trouser hooks for a more professional look.

DRAFTING TECHNIQUES

Designing patterns from scratch

CHAPTER 4: DESIGNING PATTERNS FROM SCRATCH

TAKING MEASUREMENTSBegin by measuring the bust across the fullest part. Allow the tape to rise up 2.5cm (1in) at the centre back; if the tape drops, the measurement will decrease and the resulting block may be too tight. Compare the measurements you have with those on the chart to find those nearest in bust size and select the appropriate block; if shop-bought clothes generally fit well, you may find that the average measurements give successful results. If your measurements differ significantly from those on the chart, it may be necessary to adjust the blocks as per the fitting adjustments in Chapter 5.

NATURAL POSTUREAsk the person you are measuring

to stand naturally, looking forwards.

If they don't have an upright posture,

do not mask their true figure with

one. Horizontal measurements

can be taken snugly since varying

amounts of tolerance (ease) will be

added into the block.
