Résumé

China has a long history in fabric production, including those made of silk, wool and cotton, to name a few. With the rise and fall of the Chinese dynasties, knitting and embroidery patterns evidently evolved to reflect the times in which they were created.

The embroidered patterns featured in this book are mainly folk designs with primary themes of flowers, birds, as well as images of people. To give these special patterns contemporary relevance, the patterns have been adapted, recreated and refined with Adobe Illustrator and kept in a vector format, and can be easily used by designers of any discipline, be it fashion, textile, graphic or interior design.
