  1. Decoration of fabric Dyeing fabric Direct application Appliqué Quilting Beading Embroidery

  2. Dyeing Fabric Natural dyes and chemical dyes Natural dyes are made from onions, beetroot, tea, raspberries .etc The advantages of using chemical dyes, are the colour is brighter and clearer, easier and cheaper to make and the same colour can be made repetitively. Natural fibres are best for dyeing as they’re more absorbent. The colour of the fabric before dyeing affects the colour after dyeing.

  3. Dyeing Fabrics continued Tie dye 1. Fabric is knotted or tied with elastic bands 2. Fabric is then dyed 3. Tied areas don’t absorb dye and this is how a pattern is made Batik 1. Hot wax is applied using a brush or tjanting tool 2. Wax is left to dry 3. Dye is applied 4. Wax is ironed off leaving a pattern

  4. Dyeing fabrics continued Silk painting • Gutta* is applied to silk and allowed to dry 2. Dye is applied with a brush 3. The dye is then fixed with heat using an iron or steam. * - Gutta is a liquid that stops the dye penetrating areas of the fabric.

  5. Direct Application Fabric paints are applied with a brush or sponge. Fabric crayons are used to give bold lines or textured effects with or without stencils. Fabric pens are very good for adding detail and fine lines. Stencilling • Shape is cut from template 2. Paint is applied through the cut out hole 3. Enables you to repeat designs

  6. Appliqué • Appliqué is a very old form of decoration which has been used by cultures all over the world. • It involves sewing one piece of fabric onto another, usually using a close zig-zag stitch. • Different stitches, coloured thread, beads, sequins or intricate embroidery can be used for added effect. • Appliqué can also be padded by placing wadding or stuffing between the fabric pieces, creating 3D effect and depth.

  7. Quilting This is a method of applying texture and colour by stitching through layers of fabrics. The surface texture in the fabric is achieved by sandwiching wadding or stuffing between layers of fabric. interesting patterns and 3D surface textures can be achieved. Quilting gives added warmth to a product. The wadding traps air between the layers.

  8. Beading • Beadwork is the addition of beads, pearls, sequins and rhinestones to fabric. • The main techniques are spotting, outlining and filling.

  9. Embroidery • Embroidery is decorative stitching used to decorate fabrics. • Examples of stitches; chain, herringbone, blanket, straight, French knot, couching and smocking. • Very intricate details can be achieved by machine or hand. • Computerised embroidery is achieved by using a specific type of sewing machine. The design can be created on the machine itself using it’s built in memory, or on a PC using software specific to that sewing. The design is then exported to the machine via a direct link to the computer or by using a special card.
