    Kente Inspiration œ Page 30 of 38 LE S S O N FO U R Brick Stitch Design area: Leaves & Stem block B, background Thread: Paternayan, Light green #613 Strands: 2 Paternayan, Medium green #612 The Brick stitch is a straight stitch over two threads, and is worked in horizontal rows. Each element is offset up or down one thread relative to its immediate neighbor. The stitch sequence is shown in 17 13 9 5 1 the diagram at right. It can be worked in either 19 15 11 7 3 direction. This stitch is used for the background of the Leaves and Stem Blocks (#3, 13, and 17). The background of these blocks is two-toned: the center strip is worked in two strands of the medium green Paternayan bracketed by a strip on either side worked in two strands of a 3 lighter green Paternayan. Block 13 is diagrammed below. The previously stitched 13 17 leaves and stems are shown in gray. The background color change occurs at the dotted line, which runs through the tips of the outer Diamond Ray Stitches. The strip on the left is 8 threads wide; the strip on the right is 9 threads wide. In order to fit better around the central motif, the Brick stitch is rotated by 90 degrees, as shown in the diagram. You may need to rotate your frame 90 degrees to stitch and lay the yarn comfortably. Place a waste knot about an inch and a half below —1“ and come up at —1“ to start the sequence.

    Fashion Studies Chapter 3 3.1.1 Understanding Fashion - Definition and Overview Fashion is an ever changing, vital and influential force that impacts our everyday lives. Our lifestyle i.e. - the way we live, what we eat, what we wear, and the activities we indulge in and how we spend our leisure time are all manifestations of this dynamic force. Fashion hence reflects a society's prevailing customs; it's political, economic and cultural state at any given point of time. Webster defines fashion as 'prevailing custom, usage or style'.* However, fashion is much more than just the clothes and Fig 1: Women and home magazine September 1959 issue; reflecting accessories. Fashion is also the spirit which goes into their lifestyle of the time creation, the money that is involved in promoting them and the people who wear the clothes. In the past, fashion emerged from the courts and the royal patronage. In history, several cities have been, in turn fashion capital due to the cultural power that these cities exerted in that period of time; this includes Milan, Rome, Venice, London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Vienna etc. However, it is the aura and allure of Paris that continues to draw international designers to the French capital to show their collection and to make a name. Thus France has sustained the image of the actual centre of fashion.

  • Bayeux Style Initials
    ©Ava, 2014 Bayeux style initials Drachenwald Crown Tourney 2014 workshop by Ava van Allecmere [email protected] Introduction: The Bayeux Tapestry is an embroidered cloth—not an actual tapestry—nearly 70 metres (230 ft) long, which depicts the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England concerning William, Duke of Normandy, and Harold, Earl of Wessex, later King of England, and culminating in the Battle of Hastings. The word tapestry comes from French tapisser, which means ‘to cover the wall’, thus wall covering. The tapestry consists of some fifty scenes with Latin tituli (captions), embroidered on linen with coloured woollen yarns. It is likely that it was commissioned by Bishop Odo, William's half- brother, and made in England—not Bayeux—in the 1070s. In 1729 the hanging was rediscovered by scholars at a time when it was being displayed annually in Bayeux Cathedral. The tapestry is now exhibited at Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux in Bayeux, Normandy, France. In a series of pictures supported by a written commentary the tapestry tells the story of the events of 1064–1066 culminating in the Battle of Hastings. The two main protagonists are Harold Godwinson, recently crowned King of England, leading the Anglo-Saxon English, and William, Duke of Normandy, leading a mainly Norman army, sometimes called the companions of William the Conqueror. Construction, design and technique: The Bayeux tapestry is embroidered in wool yarn on a tabby-woven linen ground 68.38 metres long and 0.5 metres wide (224.3 ft × 1.6 ft) and using two methods of stitching: outline or stem stitch for lettering and the outlines of figures, and couching or laid work for filling in figures.
