About Me

I am a textiles surface designer with a great understanding of its function and application. I specialise in hand embroidery, embellishment and in prints for fashion. I am a passionate, experimental, and am unafraid to take risks or to push boundaries with my work. Because of this, I am the kind of person suited to the fashion industry which has ever changing rules, challenges and expectations. All images and text are copyright to Stacie Charlton.

Fashion Embroidery & Stitch show in March 2012!

I received such a good phone call yesterday!!! It was about Madeira, having received my sponsorship report from my final major project they have asked me to exhibit with them in March, I couldn't believe it!! I obviously said yes so I will now have my own space in the Fashion Embroidery & Stitch Show which is in Birmingham from Tuesday 22nd - Sunday 25th March.
It is just what I needed, it will definitely motivate me to update my portfolio, although over Christmas I have been working on producing more commercial designs for my portfolio and I have around 30 digital designs using techniques and processes that I picked up from my placements, focusing on repeats for fashion fabrics. I now want to get some of these printed on to fabric so I can add embroidery and embellishment to them!

I spent ages on my report, describing my process from concept to finish and evaluating each of my final pieces, with materials and processes I used. After I had my report bound, I printed the front cover onto fabric and sewed into and added embellishments.
