Textile design technique called Screen Printing begins with making stencils. One stencil for each color. The most complex designs can require making a dozen of them! Here I only made two for this roaring creature. How do they combine? Think of Photoshop or Illustrator layers, that would be a similar thing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Скрин принт это одна из техник дизайна на ткани. Процесс начинается с подготовки ��рафаретов. Один трафарет потребуется для каждого цвета. Для сложных дизайнов их может понадобиться много, но здесь я делаю два чтобы создать этого динозавра. Трафареты будут накладываться на ткань последовательно, примерно как слои в графических редакторах. sivanaatelier.com

Meanwhile, these handmade t-shirts I created are available now. Hand-printed and hand-painted, each t-shirt is one and the only. The variety of techniques was applied: screenprint, stamp print, monoprint, tie-dye, and hand painting. Easy care, machine washing is ok. The ink is heat cured and won't fade over time. The first t-shirt I made four years ago is still alive and thriving; yep, I'm surprised myself. Shipping to all US states. Please shoot me a message for details, sizing, and stuff. If you are looking for a specific shirt design, let me know, this can be customized. Note: 3 designs here are for kids: - 2 from Cuba collection, blue shirts with cars, - 1 from Fuse collection, red and blue square printthe size is 4/5T. All the rest - adult t-shirts

What do tailors eat? 🇺🇸🇷🇺 Here is one item from my menu, called tailor’s ham. This firm oval pillow is on the list of my little helpers. Whenever I need to press a curvy seam open with an iron, I use the ham. This tool looks simple a brick but has curves of various sizes and I always can choose how to place my seam over it and work the curve nicely. Collars, pockets, necklines, small folds, sleeve caps, waistlines, darts, just to name a few, benefit from curved pressing. Corset making is impossible without shaping pieces on the ham. Most fabrics are moldable which means I can adjust or change the shape of the pieces I sew during the construction process. Our bodies are not flat therefore curved pressing happens regularly. sivanaatelier.com _____________________________________________ Что едят дизайнеры одежды? Вот одно из блюд под названием Ветчина портного, или по-русски утюжильная подушка. Это мой помощник, твёрдая, упруго набитая подушечка с округлыми краями разного размера. Когда нужно разгладить шов идущий не по прямой а с изгибом, без неё не обойтись. Воротники, карманы, линии выреза, складки, окат рукава, втачные пояса, вытачки, и, конечно же корсеты. Корсет невозможно выполнить без формовки на округлой подушке. Большинство тканей также хорошо отзываются на сутюживание, то есть изменение формы детали либо шва с помощью утюга, и для этого тоже пригодится моя ветчина. Использование округлой базы для утюга происходит едва ли не чаще чем утюжка на плоской поверхности, ведь мы сами состоим из округлостей и плавных линий.

My dress form and I. She is so Bae! Still, stubborn sometimes. No wonder, she is a firm industrial dress form. This makes her not the best option for a corset fitting. Mannequins for fitting corsets differ from ordinary ones in that they are soft, their waist area can be compressed. Given that I'm working on a corset pattern today, Bae has not delivered me much help. What is your everyday work tool you love the most? Insensible computers don't count! _______________________________________________
Я и моя кроха. Она клёвая, но тверда как что нибудь твёрдое. На самом деле эта красотка не лучший вариант для корсетного изделия, так как она жесткий индустриальный манекен. Манекены для примерки и посадки корсетов отличаются от обычных тем что они мягкие, их талия может сжиматься. Поскольку сегодня в работе корсетная выкройка, то кроха мне сегодня не помощница. А кто ваш любимый рабочий инструмент? Бездушные компьютеры не в счёт! (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLu8qARL0f-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let's talk about 2 more pieces you should steal from men's closet. 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐧-𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐧-𝐮𝐩 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐭 Contrast: composed and alluring Men's shirts are better than women's on many levels! They win in the fabric's quality, the stability of construction, they stay tucked in, whatever you do. Have you ever struggled with the bust fit, with the darts not matching your unique bust shape? Enjoy: men's shirt has no darts. Be selective with your bottom garment: fitted skirts and pants look better since men's shirts tend to be oversized. Avoid creating volume on top and the bottom at the same time unless you pursue Billie Eilish's look. Lady's way: Contrary to men's polished style of wearing the shirt, your tone should not be perfect. Leave a few buttons undone and learn how to roll the cuffs. Accents? Jewelry piece or a silk scarf on your neck. 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 Contrast: refined and playful From what I gather, they are a whole lot of fun! The best look you can achieve relates to the idea that suspenders are meant to hold your bottom garment in place. Therefore don't ever wear a belt. Lady's way: Pair suspenders with straight or loose-cut dress pants. The type of bottoms to avoid wearing: skinny pants and a tight skirt, because this fit stays on its own, and mixing them in defeats the whole idea (and glorious history) of suspenders. Remember, your pants should not flare out; select straight-cut, otherwise, your outfit will roll down from sophisticated to childish or dated, and the silhouette will likely scream 70-s. Got your bottoms chosen? Let's move to the top. A collared dress shirt is always a good match. Sweaters are acceptable if the fabric is thin, and the fit is not too loose, while puffy knits with suspenders are no-go. How to make it more fun? Pick a graphic tee but not a close-fitting one. If you chose to wear a short sleeve dress shirt, you absolutely can. This combo will look a bit formal and relaxed at the same time. Try this on courageously and see how spicing up the look with masculine details empowers your feminity! https://www.sivanaatelier.com

Pieces of clothing to borrow from a guy? Are you daring to pull something from your man's closet or shop in the men's department store? Just go for it. Wearing the men's garments for a full look or incorporating your little something, you won't turn masculine all over; on the opposite, you will have your feminine side highlighted. There is no better way to look stunning than creating dramatic contrast. How to wear men's pieces in the right way and what to choose? Let us begin with these two:
𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐞𝐫 Contrast: bold vs fragile A trusty wardrobe staple is the symbol of empowerment and success. Oversized clothes can be risky, but blazers are easy to tame. Safest option? Pair it with a white or graphic tee or a turtleneck. Moderate level: throw it over a feminine blouse with ruffles or a knot. Extremely bold today? Pick a boho dress, chiffon dress, or a silky slip. The right dress will be feminine, airy, and flowy.
Lady's way: Belt oversized outerwear to show off your shape! Choose slimmer bottoms too, something fitted, like form-fitting skirts, straight or skinny jeans, and pants.
𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 Contrast: strong vs cozy The styling ways are endless when it comes to layering. Make sure the collar of your shirt or blouse is friendly with your sweater neckline. Men's garments tend to give you better result here thanks to the bigger size of their necklines. If the sweater is long enough, it could pass as a dress paired with boots or pumps. Surprisingly, a sweater can work not only in a traditional way but as an accessory, worn as a cape.
Lady's way: if you chose to avoid the baggy look and square silhouette, tuck in the front or a part of it, so the waist is visible. Have you worn men's pieces so far? We will talk about two more garments soon!

Was a zipper acceptable for a lady? The answer is No. 🚫 Until one rebellious woman stepped in and fought for your rights, gals.
Womenswear fashion designers have long abandoned the use of zippers in women's clothing. The idea of quickly unzipping the zipper symbolized a woman of easy virtue. The ladies did not want to be seen as loose. Only in the 30s, Elsa Schiaparelli, a designer known for her daring aesthetic and love of the avant-garde, broke the unspoken ban and took the zipper into service.

Можно ли было приличной женщине носить застёжку молнию? Запрещено. 🚫 Пока одна бунтарка в мире моды не устроила революцию в женской одежде.
Дамские модистки долго отказывались от использования молнии в женской одежде. Идея быстрого расстёгивания молнии была символом женской доступности и распущенности. Только в 30-е годы дизайнер Эльза Скиапарелли, известная своими смелыми взглядами и любовью к авангарду, нарушила негласный запрет и взяла молнии на вооружение.

The name of the zipper was brought by "godfather" Bertrand Rock, the owner of a rubber shoe company. He liked the zzziping sound of the hooks when connected, and the first galoshes equipped with zippers became known as Zipper boots. The name remained in English as a zipper.
The first successful marketing campaigns to generate interest focused on the convenience of self-dressing for children. The sellers could not imagine that the zipper would be considered worthy in the adult clothing market.
The zipper's first commercial success came after the US military pilots appreciated the convenience of the zipper, and it appeared on uniforms in 1917. __________________________________________
Название застёжки, «зиппер», было придумано Бертраном Роком, владельцем компании производящей резиновую обувь. Ему понравился звук zzzip издаваемый крючками при соединении и первые галоши оснащённые молнией стали называться zipper boots. Название осталось в английском языке как zipper.
Первые маркетинговые кампании, вызвавшие интерес публики, акцентировали внимание на удобстве самостоятельного одевания детей. Маркетологи не могли себе представить что застежка заинтересует взрослую публику.
Коммерческий интерес к молнии возник когда военные лётчики США оценили надежность и удобство и застежка появилась на обмундировании в 1917 году.

3 men who invented one reliable fastener commonly used in your clothing. 80 years till this invention was appreciated!
The zipper has not one but several fathers.
1851 The zipper envisioned by the first inventor Elias Howe was far from convenient, bulky, and its creator gained better fame for the invention of the lockstitch sewing machine.
1891 Whitcomb Judson created a reasonably competent zipper for a friend who suffered from a back injury and was unable to bend over and tie his boots. The invention was shown at an exhibition at the Chicago World's Fair. Still, it did not generate interest due to the perceived complexity for the user. A two-page manual was issued, but this did not help make the project commercially successful.
1909 Gideon Sundback made several changes to the design, brought the zipper closer to the modern one, and automated its production. Still, users again did not believe in the advantages of the zipper over the usual buttons.
Still, the zipper would not get much attention till 1937. More in the following post _________________________________________
3 человека которые изобрели надёжную застёжку которой вы пользуетесь почти каждый день. И более 80 лет от идеи до ее признания!
У молнии был не один а несколько отцов-изобретателей.
1851 Молния первого изобретателя Элиаса Хоува была далека от удобства, громоздка и создатель ее получил гораздо большую известность за изобретение челночной швейной машины.
1891 Уиткомб Джадсон создаёт достаточно эффективную молнию для своего друга страдавшего после травмы спины и неспособного наклониться и завязать шнурки своих ботинок. Изобретение было представлено на всемирной выставке в Чикаго но не вызвало интереса из-за мнимой сложности. Для молнии была выпущена инструкция на две страницы, но и это не помогло сделать проект коммерчески успешным.
1909 Гидеон Сандбэк внёс изменения в конструкцию и привёл застёжку в вид близкий к современному, а также автоматизировал ее производ��тво но пользователи вновь не поверили в преимущества молнии перед пуговицами.
Триумф не прийдет к молнии до 1937 года.
Продолжение следует..

I’m old school. Is it okay for a fashion designer to be less dynamic in some areas of work? Because I still love writing by hand.
The Digital era is on the rise, and we changed the ways of saving information dramatically. Now we type all day long, and many anthropologists agree that eventually human hand will look altered due to the permanent use of our devices.
I have to admit I do type a lot, though I still prefer to put my ideas on paper for development and communication.
What about you? What is the old fashioned habit you are not planning to give up on even now? __________________________________________________
В некоторых вопросах я удивительно старомодна. Может ли человек, чья работа это мода, отставать от динамичного времени в некоторых вещах?
Надеюсь, да. Потому что я до сих пор предпочитаю писать рукой на бумаге.
Эпоха цифровых технологий в разгаре, и мы радикально изменили способы сохранения информации. Многие антропологи сходятся во мнении, что со временем человеческая рука будет выглядеть иначе из-за постоянного использования электронных устройств.
Я много печатаю, но для себя предпочитаю изложить идеи на бумаге. Это помогает мне лучше развить их или подготовить для дальнейшей коммуникации.
А у вас есть излюбленная старомодная привычка от которой вы не планируете отказываться?

👑 Silk is considered as the queen of all fabrics. I found out some surprising facts about the silk fabric. Curious? Enjoy!
🧶 Bombyx mori, Latin for "silkworm of the mulberry tree," forms the thread. The creature is technically not a worm but a caterpillar, able to deposit around 500 eggs.
🐛 A silkworm female dies immediately after depositing the eggs, while the male ones live sometime after. Inconsolable widowers they are. 😞
🔗 The silk rope is as strong as a thick metal wire.
________________________
👑 Шелк по праву считается королевской тканью. Я нашла несколько удивительных ��актов о шелке. Любопытно?
🧶 Нить производится червяком шелкопрядом Bombyx mori, в переводе с латыни «шелкопряд дерева шелковицы», который технически является не червяком, а гусеницей, способной откладывать около 600 яиц за раз.
🐛 Самка шелкопряда умирает сразу после кладки, тогда как самцы живут дольше. Безутешные вдовцы 🐛
🔗 Шелковая веревка столь же прочна, как толстая металлическая проволока.
