In order to create the print for the front of my skirt I needed to make copies of the sample print I did on the computer. I then began cutting and laying them on a piece of paper I had cut to fit the skirt pattern piece, repeatedly holding it up to the toile to see if the placement of the print was suitable. Once I had the print example ready I took it to Steve in the textiles room and asked the best way to get it onto my fabric. He suggested digital printing but when I mentioned the heat press sample I have he agreed it would be quicker and cheaper. I did some more samples with the fabric I am using for the final garment. They have slight marks on because of the nature of the transfer paper when it is photocopied but for the final print I have used a scalpel to remove some of the marks. I also cut the rest of the fabric for my skirt, but I still need to do the pattern for my linings.
