Fabrics for Furnishing and Fashion : Garment development

Once I chose my three favourite designs I began making them. I started by picking my colour palette and hand dying the fabric. I chose wool delaine for my skirts as it is light, easy to embroider and feels gorgeous. I enjoyed experimenting with the dyes in the lab to create my chosen colours. Once the fabric was dyed I began embroidering them, using machine and hand embroidery.
Here are some images from the making process.
