Color blocking is super simple and easy to design into your sewing patterns. Of course, you all likely know that color blocking is definitely back in fashion. But do you know where it all began?
It all dates back to a Dutch artist - Pieter Cornelis Mondrian (1872-1944) - nicknamed 'Piet'. He was one of the principal members of the Neoplasticism art movement. In 1919 he began producing grid-based paintings for which he became renowned for the rectangular shapes, solid black lines and random placement of primary colors.
In the 1960's, Yves St. Laurent popularized his 'Mondrian' dresses using Piet as his inspiration.
Color blocking has become popular again and of course, you can do this with your SFD patterns. Creating areas to color block on your patterns is creative and easy to do. Just start off with Sally Silhouette as your croquis and experiment with where you'd like to draw your style lines for color blocking.
If you don't yet have your copy of Sally Silhouette, you can download her from the Free Stuff page in the SFD Learning Center. Click Here.
And now there is also a new downloadable Fashion Leaflet for color blocking your new SFD T-Shirt that I introduced to you last week. There is a nominal cost for this leaflet, but if you read the SFD newsletter from January 12th, you will be able to download this leaflet completely free for a limited time if you use the link that is provided in that newsletter. It's my 'get busy sewing gift' for you to jump start your 2015 sewing projects. In addition to this...it could easily be 'Made in a Day'...just another quick, easy and rewarding project.
Have fun and don't forget to send photos when you get yours done! I'll put together a T-Shirt collage and show off all your work. Send to info@surefitdesigns.com.
Thanks so much,
Glenda...the Good Stitch!
