The theme is based on Revival and Resurgence. We have to contemporize our final designs, It can be the combination of two crafts also.
I chose Rajasthan, Jaipur as my inspiration because Jaipur is the city which is infused with colourful colours, magnificent forts and exquisite arts. It is filled with such alluring and beautiful art forms, colourful festivals and beautiful textiles. I personally chose Jaipur because I belong to Jaipur and I have immense love for that city. I have grown up while seeing some amazing textiles like Sanganeri prints, Bagru and Kota Doriya etc.

EXPLORATION OF SWATCHES
1. QUILTING WITH EMBROIDERY
Quilting is the process of sewing two or more layers of fabric together to make a thicker padded material, usually to create a quilt or quilted garment. Typically quilting is done with three layers: the top fabric or quilt top, batting or insulating material and backing material, but many different styles are adopted.
2. TIE AND DYE WITH PUFF PRINTING
Screen printing is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. Puff ink is a plastisol that has been modified with the addition of a heat reactive foaming agent. The ink expands when exposed to high temperature heat as the garment is cured. An additive to Plastisol inks which raises the print off the garment, creating a 3D feel.
4. RUST DYEING WITH FOIL PRINTING
Screen printing is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. Foil is much like flock, but instead of a velvet touch and look it has a reflective/mirror look to it. Although foil is finished with a heat press process it needs the screen printing process in order to add the adhesive glue onto the material for the desired logo or design.
5. SHIBORI WITH PLEATING TECHNIQUE
A pleat (older plait) is a type of fold formed by doubling fabric back upon itself and securing it in place. It is commonly used in clothing and upholstery to gather a wide piece of fabric to a narrower circumference. Pleats are categorised as pressed, that is, ironed or otherwise heat-set into a sharp crease, or unpressed, falling in soft rounded folds. Pleats sewn into place are called tucks.
6. RUSHING WITH SMOCKING
Smocking is an embroidery technique used to gather fabric so that it can stretch. Before elastic, smocking was commonly used in cuffs, bodices, and necklines in garments where buttons were undesirable. Smocking developed in England and has been practised since the Middle Ages and is unusual among embroidery methods in that it was often worn by labourers.
