Architectural T-shirts

This is not new (I think it hit the blog world last year), but it's new to me and I am swooning :) I'm loving the architectural constructions in these t-shirts. The T-shirt Issue was the brainchild of Mashallah Design and Linda Kostowski, who digitally scanned three people and combined this data with a digital twin of the body that reflected a particular thought or memory. (Sounds quite incredible - don't ask me about the validity of this technology!)


Anyway... apparently the 3D data from the scans was translated into a 2D sewing pattern and pieced together using sweatshirt jersey to form the embodiment of these memories into a garment especially for them... wanting to be raised by wolves... the air in one's bathers... and memories of a special encounter.


You can find out more by visiting Mashallah Design or The T-Shirt Issue websites.

My Creative Space - Atomic T

You'd think I'd have had enough by now... I'm sure you have! ;) Sorry... I just keep doing more things with this design. The bags are not quite there yet but I did somehow find time to print up this T-shirt for the Mr. (Fortunately, he loves it) To see more variety in creative endeavour, visit Kirsty's at Kootoyoo :) and while you're there check out Kirsty's amazing broomstick crochet wristband!

Jersey inspirations

I went to see Coco Avant Chanel the other day and was suddenly totally inspired to sew again... (such an easily led girl!). There was a part in the movie where she exclaims over a 'new' fabric and you can see her mind ticking over the possibilities... fabulous, versatile, soft jersey. I have my own love affair with jersey and it reminded me of the sumptuous fashions of Lauren Kovin. She does wonderful things with this beautiful fabric and is particularly skilled in draping. If you'd like to see her entire collection, visit her website here.
