Hello! 

Welcome to our group, Heart-to-Heart: Stitched With Love!
Because we love you!
To whoever is reading this, we hope you understand the work and beauty (and love) that went into the process of making these clothes. Feel free to make an account and comment, but please no negative feelings!
From this assignment we learned that the true value of clothes is not the price, but it is the effort, love, and story that has gone into the art, because clothes are art, beautiful pieces of love and stitches from the heart that we may take for granted but really should be cherished as little pieces of happiness. We hope you take this message away from this as well.
- Ilana, Toby, Jaqueline, and Freya

Dying the Pants/Shorts

Pictures of when we were dying the pants. The dye started out purple and is now more of a pinkish-raspberry.

Our Dyes

We used three main dyes to color our garments.

Left to right, they are:

Far Left: 3/5 blueberry, 1/5 red pepper and 1/5 cabbage

Middle: Onion and clementine peels

Far right: Eggplant.

 

All three of these dyes were made from leftovers from lunch, Martha's table or snacks brought in for the minimester. We used these dyes in different ways. Overnight, we soaked the sweatshirt in the yellow dye (onions and clementine peels) to give it a more vibrant color. To dye the shorts, we used paintbrushes and striped the dyes vertically to the length we would cut them at. We then soaked the remaining jeans in yellow dye and later made our signature hearts out of that.

The t-shirt was made by the spilling of purple dye. A blank white t-shirt was on hand, so we used it to mop up the dye, and when it was unraveled there was a pretty pattern on the shirt, so we decided to use it also.

The Shirt

 

It is not in these pictures but if you look at the shorts and the final products of both the sweatshirt and the shirt you can see a heart. That shows that all of the pieces are part of the same collection. :)

We created this shirt by accident. We spilled dye and wiped it up with a plain white t-shirt. When the shirt dried, it turned into this! A happy accident! We cut the shirt and fringed the bottom. 

Our gorgeous model styling the shorts (barely visible) and the t-shirt.

Pictures of the Shorts

A heart sown onto the back pocket.

We bedazzled the front pockets too.

On the other back pocket, we bedazzled it with three studs.

the Shorts

We finished making the shorts!

They are bedazzled and finished with our signature heart.

These started out as white jeans. We cut off the legs and dyed them. Then we rolled them up and they turned into cute shorts! We BeDazzled the pockets and sewed a small heart on the back pocket.
