Word Meaning Use

Seam Join two pieces of fabric together Any textile product when joining materials

Overlocker Sews two pieces of fabric together whilst trimming, sewing and neatening

Any textile product when joining materials, however a faster, neater process.

Seam allowance

A seam allowance is the area between the edge of your fabric and the line of stitching being used to join two or more pieces of material together. The amount of seam allowances can range 2 mm wide to as much as several centimeters

The seam allowance is an important part of a seam and is usually unseen, inside the garment. Make sure that the raw edges line up evenly to create equal seam allowances on all of the pieces being joined.

Year 8 Textiles

Dyeing

Seams and Construction

Pattern Repeat

Artist ResearchMood board: is a physical or digital collage of ideas/images meant to inspire the design process at the start of a project

Componentsare pre manufactured items added to textile products that are not the fabric. E.gfastenings, zips, buttons, beads

image reflects a pattern. Mirror repeat: A mirror

Straight repeat: is produced by repeating your image at measured intervals, placing each image directly under the previous one.

Half- drop repeat: This is produced by repeating the image at the side as the straight repeat, but moving the image half along on the second row, like a brick pattern

Tie dye: A traditional resist dyeing, where the fabric is folded and tied with string or elastic bands to stop the dye getting to the fabric. Used on natural fabrics.

Types of seams:Plain Overlocked Flat fell French

Natural Dyes can be made boiling vegetables, fruit or spices to create colour. Adding salt helps to fix the dye to the fabric

• Onion • Coffee• Beetroot• Cabbage• SpicesAny more?

Fabrics:CottonPolyesterWoolSilk

Natural vs Synthetic fibresNatural fibres in fabric absorb dye more readily than man made.

Cotton = natural Polyester = synthetic

Resist Dyeing

Batik: A traditional technique from Indonesia, resist dying where the wax stops the dye reaching the fabric

• Tjantingtool

• Wax pot

Block Printing Used for fabrics and wallpaper

Roller printing creates a continuous pattern

Colour Application techniques

Screen PrintingInk is pushed through mesh using a template create an image. You can use several layers of colour

• Squeegee • Screen

ManufactureAll techniques can be scaled up and used in mass manufacture/production.Key words: Industrial, batch production

Quiltingis the process of sewing two or more layers of fabric together to make a thicker padded material

Sewing Machine

OverlockerUsed to finish,neaten and trim edges.
