Here are images from Manchester Mills textiles exhibition

I looked at the printing blocks which were on display and once used in industry. I particularly like the soft colours that are within the images.

These are images i took at the Manchester Mills exhibition. I thought they would be interesting photos as they show the old textiles machines used in industry, I also like the colour balance within the images.

Bought Postcard images of the mill

Here are images of when I was marking out the cut outs on to my block.

These are images of my finished toile, however the collar and sleeves needed adjusting as they did not fit right.

The collar was not the correct shape and the cut outs on the sleeves lost there shape and collapsed when worn by a model.

Here I adapted my pattern by making the cut outs on the arms smaller and adding an extra one.

When the garment was worn the cut outs held shape and looked better.
