GROUP TROUSERS.

As a group, we decided it would be a good idea to all add to a pair of plain white trousers so that they all reflected something about us and what we enjoy to do. Josie started with the trousers first, she used machine embroidery to stitch into them and create the patterns of brick work in Manchester using our colour scheme. Here are photos of the trousers before she gave them to me:

I decided that stitching into them wouldn't be enough to show my personal interests and wanted to change them a bit more drastically, so therefore I decided to dye them. Using a variety of dyes allowed me to create different patterns of colour over the trousers and I think they turned out really well, reflecting different shades of Manchester with the colour being lighter on the inside and darker on the out. Here are some photos of what the trousers look like now:
