  • Silk, Linen, Leather, Denim, Grass, Cotton, Felt
    Silk, linen, leather, denim, grass, cotton, felt. Natural materials keep the integrity of their shape yet hold an impression of the figure that has worn them. Fit-out for Olivia Spencer Bower speaks to the fabrics and forms that we live in. An assortment of garment patterns, building plans and the lifestyles of art heroines provide templates or underlying structures for Emma Fitts’ installation at the Ilam School of Fine Arts gallery. Adopting the layout of a modernist home and featuring a series of fabric hangings and clothing cutouts, Fitts’ work acutely relates to our situated knowledge, the proportions of the body and our experience of space, while also implying much less measurable qualities. Alternative histories that reveal the social relationships and values of a bygone era are incorporated to form a homage of sorts, though these references are evoked to shed light on the present–what it means to live and make work as an artist today. The gallery is physically divided by four large textile works, hung from the ceiling according to the walls shown in architectural plans for 15A Leinster Avenue, Christchurch–the former home of artist Olivia Spencer Bower (1905- 82). These soft walls enable visitors to occupy the space as though wandering through her actual house: living room, kitchen, sunroom, bedroom and studio. Designed in 1969 by architects Cowey and McGregor in the Christchurch style of neo-brutalism, the house was commissioned to accommodate the needs of a female artist living alone. There is an emphasis on form developed in relation to function and it is both refined and compact, manifesting these ideals.

DRAFTING COLLARS ADJUSTMENT FOR PETER PAN COLLAR Collars can also be drafted from scratch and added to your blouse and dress patterns. My favorite vintage-style collar is the Peter Pan collar, which I incorporated into the blouse variation on page 160. It can be added to any blouse, jacket, or dress with a round neckline, and it will make the most basic garment ooze charm! Depending on how you style a Peter Pan collar, it can look ladylike or playful, 1930s glam or 1960s mod. Once you understand the basics of making a Peter Pan collar, you can apply this knowledge to any shape or size collar you like. For the purpose A. Overlap shoulder seams. of this little design project, let’s use a 1940s button-back blouse as our base. The basic premise of drafting a collar like this is that you use the neckline of your garment as your guide—the basic shape of your collar is right there! So start by laying out your blouse front and back pattern pieces on a table. Use a colored pencil to draw in the neckline and shoulder seam lines on your pattern pieces.

  • Analysis of Artificial Leather with Textile Fabric on the Backside
    Volume 6, Issue 2, Fall2009 ANALYSIS OF ARTIFICIAL LEATHER WITH TEXTILE FABRIC ON THE BACKSIDE Darko Ujević, Stana Kovačević, *Larry C. Wadsworth, Ivana Schwarz, and Blaženka Brlobašić Šajatović University of Zagreb, Faculty of Textile Technology, Zagreb, Croatia *The University of Tennessee, Department of Materials Science and Engineering ABSTRACT The fundamental characteristics of a textile fabric intended for the vehicle interior is presented. Chemical and physical-mechanical properties of artificial leather with bonded textile fabric on the back side are analyzed. The most important parameters for leather durability are: breaking force and elongation-at-break, and these properties will be tested in different circular directions. Likewise, chemical properties of artificial leather and basic construction parameters of the textile fabric are investigated. When using artificial leather, physical-mechanical properties of artificial leather as well as the quality of the seams are most important. In addition to the results obtained, physical-mechanical properties and aesthetic evaluation of the joined places will be compared. Keywords: Artificial leather, Textile fabric on the back side, Joined place strength, Seam strength, Physical-mechanical properties Introduction pleather (plastic leather) is a slang term for synthetic leather made out of plastic, a In addition to ergonomically designed car portmanteau of plastic and leather, the term seats for keeping the body in a correct sitting can be either descriptive, or derogatory, position, it is important that the passenger depending upon the user (the derogatory use feels no bodily fatigue due to sitting implies use as a substitute for genuine discomfort.

  • About Leather Types of Leather
    About Leather Types of Leather Leather is an ancient, durable material created through a process of tanning animal rawhide to preserve it and make it pliable when dry. Many features of natural leather make it superior to synthetic products including durability, comfort, beauty, suppleness, and resilience. Plus, leather’s ability to patina and absorb body oils continues to enhance the leather’s appearance and makes it more beautiful over time. Leather can broadly be divided into full grain, enhanced grain, corrected grain, top grain and split leathers. Full Grain Leather Full grain leather has no surface alterations. The hide’s natural pores and grain textures are intact and it will develop a patina over time. The tiny pinholes dotting the surface indicate the hide’s open hair follicles. The presence of these hair follicles demonstrates a high quality surface which has not been altered to conceal flaws. This full grain surface breathes. It keeps the user Full grain comfortable as it adjusts to body temperature. Full grain leather is the highest quality, most beautiful, and most comfortable leather available. Enhanced Grain Leather Enhanced grain leather is a full grain with an artificial grain embossed over the natural grain. Enhanced grain leather has the same comfort and breathability of a full grain, but the surface has received minor alteration to improve grain Enhanced grain appearance. Corrected Grain Leather Corrected grain leather is produced from the upper portion of the hide. The surface is lightly sanded or refined then embossed with an artificial grain texture. Corrected grain leathers have a more consistent appearance across the entire surface.

  • A Quick Tour of Fashion
    A Quick Tour Through the Last Century of Fashion Women begin to wear looser, lighter-weight clothing. A popular style is 1900s a starched white blouse, with a dark blue or black ascot scarf, and a long, full skirt. The “Gibson Girl” look – independent, athletic, poised, intelligent, yet feminine – is created by illustrator Charles Dana Gibson. Women’s hair is worn high on the head. It begins to become acceptable for women to uncover more parts of their body, although a skirt three inches above the ground is considered scandalous. World War I. Fashions are conservative, with women’s clothes following 1910s more or less natural body lines. Women are asked not to wear corsets (the stays were often made of steel, which was needed for the war effort), and replace them with girdles. The end of World War I brings new freedom. Women also gain the right 1920s to vote. The flapper, boyish look takes over. Women cut their hair short, into a “bob.”They bare their legs, with dresses that are straight, unfitted, and end at or a little above the knee. Maturity ceases to be in fashion for men and women; there’s an emphasis on a more youthful, almost childish look. For example, men’s clothing is no longer designed to make them look as large and powerful as possible, but slimmer and younger. The Depression. Seriousness and maturity are back, and reflected in 1930s heavier styles (e.g. men’s pants are cut fuller) and darker colors. Skirts are longer, and styles follow a woman’s figure, with graceful curves and lines.
