OMG! this thread is great!
hello, i'm newbie anyway. In where I'm living, the most well known textiles are batik, ikat, handwoven (asian countries typical textiles)

welcome to tFS,cocomomo
it would be great to see some of these textiles
We have another thread for more traditional/historical textiles and handcrafts
Old world craft & Techniques

A member had posted textiles from Indonesia there too



By the way I moved all the knitted textiles posts to this new thread:
Knitted textiles

reverse applique

"Reverse applique" is a technique where you have layers of fabric together, sewing your motif designs on top and then cutting them out, down to the layer which you want visible.

The works of Sonia Delauney and Fortuny should be all over this thread, but I think they've been represented well enough in other posts....But any excuse to post master Fortuny I take.........(from google image search: cornflower.typepad.com)

i think sonia delaunay is also as deserving
perhaps we can start that soon..

it's nice to see what other people like in terms of textiles.. there is so much variety
we also have a thread called repeating patterns - wallpaper & textile design
where you see a lot more prints..

...The results vary from practical structures to purely artist creations—and to fashion items. This year Japan Fashion Week design duo Mint Designs incorporated their Senseware contribution into their catwalk show. The “To be someone” mask project was created from an unwoven material using long polyester fibers called “Smash” by Asahi Kasei Fibers Corporation. The highly thermo-dynamic material can be easily molded into 3D forms—here resulting in a pollen mask press-formed into the shape of a perfectly balanced face...While Mint Designs created the masks purely as prototypes for the project, PR representative Naoko Jensen noted that a number of buyers and press expressed interest in them—suggesting that in this case Senseware has succeeded in pushing the discussion and potential of an average, accepted product to another level.
From Aprill 22-27 Senseware will travel to the Milan Triennial. This year marks the third edition of the annual series, Tokyo Fiber/Senseware.

mulletproof gave me the idea of adding some work here that can be done without special equipment ..


i tried to look for some easy things to do

here is appliqué

take a fabric cut-out
and fold edges under (making snips will make it easier to fold under)
then "slip stitch" it down to the base fabric
