PATTERN Take-Two Skirt nn Budd Knits PATTERN Take-Two Skirt This skirt is a variation of the Putting of the Pleats skirt (avail- able at http://www.ravelry. com/patterns/library/putting- on-the-pleats) that I designed last year. For this version, I used a fingering weight hand-dyed wool yarn at 7.5 stitches per inch for a firm, but lightweight, fabric. Designed to have 1" to 2" (2.5 to 5 cm) negative ease around the waist and hips, this skirt stretches as neces- sary for a slimming fit. Four darts shape the hips, then purl stitches are added between 15-stitch “pleats” to provide flare in the lower skirt. Slipped stitches make the “pleats” look more elongated. The bind-off produces slight scallops around the lower edge, which adds a bit of flirty appeal. JOE COCA FINISHED SIZE About 30¾ (32¾, 34¾, 36¾)" (78 [83, 88.5, 93.5] cm) waist circumference; 34 (36, 38, 40)" (86.5 [91.5, 96.5, 101.5] cm) hip circumference before start of pleats; 49¾ (52¾, 55¾, 58¾)" (126.5 [134, 141.5, 149] cm) hem circumference, relaxed; and 20" (51 cm) length for all sizes (see Notes).

    PLEATED LINEN SHIRT BY ARENDA HOLLADAY BEYOND THE PATTERN: This simple linen shirt features a wide pleat with mirrored cables at the back. The same cables are reproduced on the sleeves and saddle shoulders. The sleeves use a modified drop shoulder styling. Shibui Linen, the recommended yarn, has a chained ply structure which produces a fabric lighter than air. The weight of the pleat in the back creates an asymmetrical edge, making the back longer than the front. There is a two-inch ease in all sizes.

  • Measuring Pleated Knitted Sensors †
    Proceedings Measuring Pleated Knitted Sensors † Giorgia Petri * and Berit Greinke College of Architecture, Media and Design, Berlin University of the Arts, 10587 Berlin, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † Presented at the International Conference on the Challenges, Opportunities, Innovations and Applications in Electronic Textiles (E-Textiles 2020), Virtual venue, UK, 4 November 2020. Abstract: This paper presents preliminary results from a study of pleated electronic textile (e-textile) sensors, focusing on prototyping and measuring electrical resistance of three knitted sensors. This work is part of a larger research project, investigating the interaction between body and e-textiles with a three-dimensional structure for creative performance applications. First, electrical properties of the pleated textile sensors were determined. Sensors were measured in a purpose-built low-cost recording device, which was set up to record electrical resistance, taken from the fabric while it was folded and unfolded. Different modes of connecting the samples to the microcontroller were also tested. Each sensor was tested three times with three different stretch lengths. The results show that one of the most significant factors to use knitted pleats as an input is the combination of yarns com- bined with the tension of the knitting machine. Keywords: pleated e-textiles; sensor properties; knitting 1. Introduction This project focuses on the interconnection between fashion, art, and technology. As an inspiration for the conceptual and technical development of pleated sensor structures, Citation: Petri, G.; Greinke, B. an investigation was carried out into concepts of fold, language, body, and performance.

Title: Dynamic Folding Knits Play // Interact // Explore Author: Victoria Salmon Supervisor: Ulrik Martin Larsen Examiner: Delia Dumitrescu Opponent: Sarah Taylor Report No: 2020.6.01 Date: June 2020 The Swedish School of Textiles Borås Sweden. 2 “Play” /pleɪ/ verb 1 occupy or amuse oneself pleasantly with some recreation, game, etc 2 act light-heartedly “Fold” /fəʊld/ Verb 1 tr a bend or close (a flexible thing) over upon itself b bend a part of (a flexible thing) in the manner specified 2 intr (intransitive) become or be able to be folded 3 tr make compact by folding Noun 1 the act or an instance of folding 2 a line made by or for folding Abstract: Physical interaction with textiles is generally found through the purpose of the textiles; for clothing, or interior use. We engage not just for the textiles, but primarily for it’s function. Within Dynamic Folding Knits, the purpose of the material is purely interaction focused. To encourage and to entice the visitor to play, and thus creating a new focus to the materi- al. One that focuses on the materiality before the function. Described through practical based research, knitted materials have been explored to investigate and encourage the physical interaction between the viewer and textiles. Folding methods have been developed that increase the tactility of the material, and integrate intricate form.

It is commonly used in clothing and upholstery to gather a wide piece of fabric This can then be brushed to fray it, exposing the layers below and to a narrower circumference. producing velvet like texture. Pleats sewn into place are called tucks. Further embellishment might take the form of additional stitching or the bonding of plastics or metal foil onto the surface. It is both delicate and robust with intricate colour mixes depending on the fabrics used. It is also stable and surprisingly hardwearing. This technique leads itself to large scale work with the freedom to make dramatic compositional statements as well as subtle colour and textural details. Gathering is a sewing technique for shortening the length of a strip of fabric so that the longer piece can be attached to a shorter piece. It is commonly used in clothing to manage fullness, as when a full Weaving is the craft of lacing fibres sleeve is attached to the arm or cuff of a shirt, or when a skirt is together to make fabric or attached to a bodice. cloth.
