We created the Invisible Threads<\/a><\/em> collection out of an urge to bring embroidered textiles into interiors where they can\u2019t usually be. It may sound strange that a type of fabric can\u2019t be used in a room, but materials used in interiors need to pass different tests to be deemed serviceable in different kinds of interiors. For example, fabrics destined for fancy houses where no one actually sits on that living room couch don\u2019t require high test results. However, fabrics destined for places like hospitals or restaurants need high test results because they are going to have a lot of people sitting down and standing up and a lot of spills and cleanings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Real embroidery doesn\u2019t pass these stringent tests. Yet, the look of embroidered fabrics can inspire memories and remind people in those spaces of special people or events.<\/a> In Invisible Threads<\/a><\/em>, we tried to tap into those feelings without sacrificing performance. Using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, Kristen created a technique<\/a> to draw with textures that resemble stitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kristen wanted the textures to look authentic and handmade, so she taught herself a few basic embroidery stitches. Though she had done cross stitch when she was younger, she had never embroidered before. (And might be hooked.) She found the process of embroidery very soothing and relaxing. While sewing, her brain was already seeing these stitches forming the shapes and motifs that eventually became Invisible Threads<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nBut first, sewing.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
