You face the challenge of color matching your Garments every morning when you open your wardrobe, you literally struggle with color combinations. Do not worry as you are not alone as 93.3% people on this planet including me struggle with choosing the right color combinations. Watch this video till end to solve the challenge of color combinations or color matching for once and all. Hello, this is Tushar from Charu Creation Pvt Ltd, a fashion fabric company at Nehru Place, New Delhi.

So friends, the solution to effortless color Combination is the Color Wheel. The Color wheel was first designed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666, the same man famous for the Laws of motions. Let us quickly understand some fundamentals so that we can use the color Wheel in 4 basic ways. The color wheel consists of 12 colors in total. Out of them, three are primary colors namely red, yellow & blue. Then there are three secondary colors namely Orange, Purple and Green. Secondary colors are created when primary colors are mixed with each other.

Further there are six tertiary colors. Tertiary colors are made from different combinations of primary and secondary colors. If you draw a line through the center of the wheel, then you’ll separate the warm colors from the cool colors. Reds, oranges & yellows are the warm colors while Blues, greens & purples are the cool colors. We need to know few more things before we are ready to use this color wheel. A pure raw color is called a Hue for example Red. If you add white to the Hue, it is called a Tint.

Example, adding white to red gives a tint called Pink. Next, if you add black to the Hue, it is called a Shade. For example, red + black gives burgundy. Finally, if you add black and white (or grey) to the Hue, it is called a Shade. Now, there are primarily four ways of using this color wheel. The first is the complementary colors scheme. How to find these matching colors on the wheel? Simply, pick any color on the wheel and trace your finger directly across the circle to the opposite side of the wheel.

Complementary colors combined together to create the strongest contrast. The Goal of the two colors is to make the other pop! For example, red and green. Generally, it has been observed that the proportion of 70, 30 or 80, 20 works best for this particular color scheme. This means, the combination of garments in which you carry 70-80% of one color and 20-30 % of the other color works the best. A 50, 50 proportion in the complimentary color scheme becomes hard to carry.

The second scheme is the Analogous Color scheme. Just pick any color on the wheel then choose the color that is located right or the left of the one you chose. For example, Indigo & Purple. A word of caution, avoid mixing cool with warm colors for best result. The third and one of the easiest scheme is the Monochromatic Colors scheme. In this scheme you create a color scheme based on various shades and tints of one hue. Although it lacks color contrast, it often ends up looking very clean and polished. A perfect example is the colors in sky during the sunset.

There are tints, tones and shades of the same hue in the Sunset Sky. The 4 fourth is the Neutral Colors Scheme. Neutral Colors consist of black, white, gray, beige, tan, olive, navy & some more. How to implement it? You just pick any neutral color and choose any color from the color wheel. And voila, your color combination is set. Neutral colors do not clash with each other. They pair well together, and you can be confident that your outfit looks great. Think of a white churidhar suit.

Regardless of your age, skin tone, or body type, neutral colors are essentials for your wardrobe. Since neutral colors easily match with other colors, if you’re ever in doubt, wear neutrals. Friends, an interesting fact is that the Neutral Colors scheme is the most unconsciously used Color Scheme in the whole world. Our natural human tendencies & intuitions push us to wear garment having neutral colors. Friends, there are more Color schemes like Triadic Colors, Split-Complementary Colors, Tetradic Colors & Square Colors scheme.

They are bit complex to implement. Friends, to view the color wheel for getting your color combination right, click on the link given in the description of the video.

Do you know that your home sewing machine is the original inspiration for machine embroidered fabrics & laces? Are you a Garments, Accessories, Home furnishings or a Shoe Manufacturer who wants to know more about Schiffli embroidered fabric? If yes, then do watch out this video till end. Hello, this is Tushar from Charu Creation Pvt Ltd, a fashion fabric company at Nehru Place, New Delhi. So friends, Schiffli is an embroidery machine which is used to create embroidered fabrics & laces.

They are also called Schiffli Embroidered fabrics & Schiffli Laces or Chemical Laces. The schiffli embroidery machine is a multi-needle, industrial embroidery machine. It was invented by Isaak Gröbli in 1863. The word ‘schiffli’ is derived from the Swiss dialect of the German language, where it means ‘little boat’, referring to the hull-like shape of the shuttle used to produce this type of fabric & lace. The front part of the boat or ship is called as a Hull.

The patterns sewing machines could produce on cloth were the initial inspiration for the concept of Schiffli embroidery. This is how Groebli came up with the idea of inventing a shuttle that consisted of a bobbin of thread and the machine that utilizes a large number of needles that work at the same time along the length of the fabric, forming lock stitches, much like the sewing machine. The Schiffli machine is a multi-needle loom, whose field of embroidery is wide, constant and coinciding. This machine uses approximately thousand needles that are placed in horizontal lines, one above the other.

In case of Schiffli Lace also called chemical lace, the fabric on which this embroidery is created is known as the ‘sacrificial fabric’ because after the embroidery is completed, the length of the fabric is immersed in a chemical bath in which the un-embroidered patches dissolve and the lace remains.

The characteristic feature of Schiffli embroidery that differentiates it from other forms of machine embroidery is the ability to create diverse luxurious patterns with 2-dimensional & 3-dimensional effects.

There are many varieties that can be found in Schiffli embroidery, based on thread type, thread color, patterns, fabrics, and usage.

1. Embroidery with Borer Holes / Eyelet: Borer Holes are small perforations that can be made in many 2-D shapes and are rimmed with either cloth threads or metallic threads. The complete effect is achieved when stitches are placed on the outer edges of the eyelet.

2. Embroidery on Net: This type of Schiffli embroidery makes use of net-like base fabrics on which the embroidery is created.

3. Embroidery with Applique: In this variant, the second layer of fabric is added to the base fabric at the beginning of the process. However, this is rolled up and secured on the upper roller of the loom while the base is being embroidered. The front yarn is then cut, the applique fabric spread out and then the embroidery is continued.

4. Embroidery in Colors: In order to get a variety of colors within the embroidered fabric or the chemical lace, there are two types of techniques that can be used. One involves the usage of separate strands of thread in different colors while the other uses one multicolored yarn in its creation.

5. Embroidery with Metallic Thread: Metallic threads are used specifically to add sheen and shimmer to the fabric or lace. These threads, since they’re made of synthetic fibers, are strong, durable and available in a variety of colors such as gold, silver, copper, back, green or emerald, wine red and other luscious hues.

6. Embroidery for Borders: This type of Schiffli embroidery is classified based on its usage for embellishing the edges or the borders of a garment.

7. All Over Embroidery: Schiffli embroidery, when done all over the fabric, involves embroidering the cloth continuously with one pattern from one edge to the Other. The running length of schiffli embroidered fabrics & schiffli or chemical laces is either 14 meters or 20.5 meters.

Schiffli embroidered fabrics & laces are extensively used to create women apparels. Among its other uses are creations of lingerie, home décor items and as frills on cushion covers.

Are you a Garments, Accessories, Home furnishings or a Shoe Manufacturer who wants to know more about the Fabric Cotton Voile? If yes, then do watch out this video till end. Hello, this is Tushar from Charu Creation Pvt Ltd, a fashion fabric company at Nehru Place, New Delhi. So friends, Cotton Voile is a semi-sheer, lightweight, plain woven fabric made from 100% cotton. It has higher yarn count than most cotton fabrics, which results in a silky soft hand. Generally it has a yarn count of 80.

Voile is a french term which means veil in English. Cotton Voile is a perfect dressmaking option for summers because it is lightweight, breathable and semi-sheer. It allows the air to pass through, providing comfort even on the most scorching day. Think of 40 degrees celsius and above, this fabric is the answer. Cotton voile is a perfect option for casual clothes. Chances are you won’t find it in evening wear, because it does not look dressy enough compared to a number of ‘special occasion’ fabrics like chiffon, jacquard or

Georgette. But it’s one of the best materials for everyday wear. After all, cotton is hypoallergenic, which means it is great with sensitive skin. Solid or printed voile is a perfect choice for making a men’s shirt, a shirtdress,

a chemisier, a tunic, a layered skirt, a sundress, a summer scarf, lingerie like a nightgown or a bralette. Printed cotton voile is a wonderful choice for a statement-making outfit, whether you’re going for a summer dress or a casual blouse.

You may choose trendy colours to stay on the verge of fashion, or opt for your favourite shade. Cotton voile fabric easily makes the top five fabrics best suitable for summer apparel. Cotton voile has a light drape. It does not have any stretch. Due to its fine texture, voile fabric can also be used to line garments. Voile fabric is versatile, which means it is great both for apparel and home décor. You’ll often find voile in craft projects such as pillowcases, cushions, doilies, doll’s dresses and more.

This gauzy fabric is also one of the favourites when it comes to creating lightweight curtains. It filters the sunlight and floods any room with natural light. Well, this fabric has some shortcomings too. For some of us it might appear too revealing. If you prefer less see-through materials, you can either add lining to your voile garment or wear it over an opaque item such as a camisole. Plus, like all cotton fabrics, cotton voile wrinkles easily and absorbs water. It is not comfortable to wear when wet.

Now, let us discuss about the Care recommendations for Cotton Voile.

Wash by hand preferably in cold water
Allow it to air dry hung on a hanger
Iron on low heat, covering with a press cloth.

Remember friends, high temperatures during washing and ironing will most likely destroy any cotton fabric, so avoid them completely. Mind that cotton voile wrinkles more than synthetic voile, but the benefits of having something natural against one’s skin is worth spending

a little bit of time on pressing. As for sewing tips, voile is perfect for beginner sewists. It is slightly slippery, but does not shift as much on the table as chiffon or organza. Pin voile fabric before cutting and marking, and you’ll enjoy the whole process. Another tip would be to pre-wash the fabric before sewing – cotton is prone to shrinkage, so this way you’ll be able to get correct measurements once the fabric is dry. And, last but not least, finish all the edges to stop fraying.
