screen short of the word embroidery: (could no tpost on the website) https://www.instagram.com/nigelfernandes_fashionart/
The process of embroidering the words: to do this I printed out the the layout of words the way I wanted them to be embroidered, the next stage was to precisely embroidery the outline of the words to get a smooth outline of the word when done. The paper on top of the plastic material also helped me in the sewing process as with out the paper the plastic would stick to the stud and would not go through.
Material checking: as I’m going to use plastic which was used for packaging, this is me recycling the material by turning it into a skirt , the image above is me quality checking the material making sure that there is no any damage on it and is all even and good to be used.
From embroidered to the finish mini skirt, this was Avery challenging piece which I had to do, as it required a massive amount of time to embroidery the words. On the other hand it was a nightmare as after the embroidery I had segregate the paper form the plastic which was not easy, as the image in the middle (the front panel) I had do make a second one as for the first panel which I created, I used water to wash the paper off which was a bad idea as tiny bits of paper go stuck in the embroidery threads which would not come of; therefore had to embroidery another whole new panel which was time consuming process again and when done I decided to separate the paper by hand which toke hours and hours as the paper was strong and had to be careful while pulling the paper making sure I do not destroy the embroidery. Over all the process thought me how long it takes to make a good piece, and it was worth the hours as the finish product was worth it.

This accidental mistake is a great out come as the words are more obvious, but the style that I’m going for is more subtle and detailed which can be observed when closer to the skirt.
