    ISSN: 2277-9655 [Kaur * et al., 7(6): June, 2018] Impact Factor: 5.164 IC™ Value: 3.00 CODEN: IJESS7 IJESRT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES & RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY TRADITIONAL HAND EMBROIDERY AND SIMPLE HAND-WOVEN STRUCTURES FOR GARMENT MANUFACTURING USED IN SMALL SCALE INDUSTRY Rajinder Kaur*1 & Jashanjeet Kaur2 *1Dev Samaj College for Women, (Ferozpur- Punjab) India, researches 2DBFGOI, (Moga- Punjab) India DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.1297392 ABSTRACT This study explores a field of textile craft, which incorporates the techniques of traditional hand embroidery design and a simple hand woven structure into construction processes of garment production to enhance the fortunes of the local fashion industry. The project was designed to have traditional and cultural significance, so as to provide a new dimension to local garment decorating processes. The results of the study revealed a wide possibility of creating and fashioning various simple hand woven structures of traditional significance into the production of garments. This provides innovative ways of actualizing new creative ideas for the progress of the local industry. The experiment revealed that with careful blending of yarns of various types, colos and sizes, very attractive and significant results can be achieved making it appropriate for use in garment decoration. The basic challenges encountered involved the variations in yarn sizes used, the long floats associated with some weave and embroidery styles and the limitations associated with the weave frame used for the project. Keywords: Hand Embroidery, Weaving, Garments. I. INTRODUCTION Embroidery was an important art in the Medieval Islamic world. The 17th-century Turkish traveler Evliya Celebi called it the "craft of the two hands".

  • Advanced Diploma Academic Year Fine Whitework
    ROYAL SCHOOL OF NEEDLEWORK 2019-2020 ADVANCED DIPLOMA ACADEMIC YEAR FINE WHITEWORK ‘Whitework’ encompasses a diverse range of techniques, whose execution spans history from earliest times to the present day, linked by the common theme of neutral threads worked on a neutral ground. The term ‘fine whitework’ can be used to refer to any form of whitework embroidery which has been executed on a fine scale. However, at the RSN, the term refers to a technique which facilitates combining the principal forms of fine scale whitework within one piece of work. This fundamentally allows exploitation of the full potential of the whitework ‘tonal scale’ from solid, sculptural techniques, through to the most translucent or open. AIM – to design and work fine whitework embroidery encompassing key techniques of the whitework tonal scale from solid to open work on one piece of fabric. A fine whitework embroidery demonstrating effectiveness of design for purpose and a high level of skill in execution of the stitches. MATERIALS: The ground cloth is a linen batiste or cambric. Two weights are available to select from: fine and very fine. The necessity to count the linen threads for this work should determine this choice. Two layers of linen will be used in parts of the design, one in others. A layer of net will also be sandwiched between the layers. A choice of fine, nylon conservation net, or heavier cotton bobbinet can be made, again according to ability to count the segments of the net. Threads. The following may be used: white stranded cotton, white cotton à broder (various sizes), white cotton perlé (finer sizes only), DMC floche à broder (for padding only, unless all other threads used are also DMC), Brok Egyptian Cotton lace threads in a range of sizes, Belgian ‘Egyptian Cotton’ lace threads in a range of sizes.
