This substantial material archive provides a wealth of insights into domestic embroidery practice as well as into the fashions, seasonality, transmission, circulation and evolution of needlework designs and amateur embroiderers’ skills across the late Georgian period.

Mikoláš Aleš a textil

Mikoláš Aleš and textiles Well-known Czech artist, draughtsman, illustrator and author of models of monumental works Mikoláš Aleš (1852–1913) also created many designs to be used in the sphere of applied art, including the textile sector. Aleš’s collaboration with Josef Just, who operated a workshop and small shop in Prague at the end of the 19th century was also noteworthy. Just traced and embroidered ornaments on folk costumes, and sold towels, scarfs, table linen, coverlets, blankets and hanging “cookbooks” with pre-printed embroidery patterns. M. Aleš created several designs for him. In 1901 J. Just moved to Červený Kostelec and established premises for printing embroidery designs – patterns there. His brothers Antonín and František took over their father’s enterprise in the same year and began running it under the name of Ant. & F. Just, dying, printing and treatment enterprise in Červený Kostelec. Just’s departure from Prague evidently did not interrupt his long-standing friendship with M. Aleš, because Aleš designed ten more motifs for Just between 1905 and 1911. He drew inspiration for these designs from nine fairy tales and one motif was inspired by the life of gipsies. These designs were also originally intended for use as embroidery patterns. However, they were used as a model for designs placed on children’s handkerchiefs manufactured at the machine printing facility of the brothers of Josef Just in Červený Kostelec. This means that the factory of the Ant. & F. dying, printing and treatment enterprise in Červený Kostelec is probably the first textile factory in the Czech lands to have collaborated with a well-known artist.

Embroidered Hierarchies: French Civil Uniforms and the décret du 29 messidor in Napoleonic Paris and Milan

In the days following Napoleon Bonaparte's nomination as Emperor of the French in May 1804, two decrees were introduced to French society: the décret du 24 messidor an XII and the décret du 29 messidor an XII. The first organized the French court into a hierarchy of privilege, placing Napoleon and his closest friends and advisors at the top of a complex pyramid of social capital. The second decree reoriented the court away from the sartorial egalitarianism of the French Revolution by legislating court costumes of varying colours and embroidery designs to correspond with each newly created governmental and courtly rank. Many histories of this period connect Napoleon's court costumes to his desire to strengthen the French silk industry, but less is understood about how Napoleon used these court costumes at his courts outside of France as organizational and imperialistic tools of social control. This article will consider how the décret du 24 messidor and the décret du 29 messidor were implemented in Paris and in the Kingdom of Italy in Milan in 1805, revealing that even as Napoleon's government attempted to structure French courtly society through codes of sartorial display, personal expression for men was still possible, especially through embroidery.

Interconnecting embroidered hybrid conductive yarns by ultrasonic plastic welding for e-textiles

This article presents a novel approach for the electrical interconnection of embroidered conductive yarns with each other at defined cross-points using ultrasonic spot welding. The electrically conductive yarns are made of silver-coated copper microwires plied with polyester filament fibers into a hybrid embroidery yarn. In this study we evaluated the influence of different material properties (number of microwires of conductive yarn, fabric substrate, and adhesive film), the embroidery designs of contact pads, and the main parameters of the welding process (energy, force, amplitude, and tools) on the welded interconnection. The results were evaluated by the process yield and the contact resistance of the welded contacts. The electrical contacts were then tested for long-term reliability (elevated temperature and humidity, temperature shock change, bending, washing and drying) and analyzed. In addition, the contacts were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and micro-computed tomography and in the form of cross-sections with optical and SEM techniques to discuss interconnection and failure mechanisms. The results show that ultrasonic spot welding can enable the production of highly reliable interconnections of textile-integrated conductive yarns with contact resistances of a few milliohms that are resistant to mechanical, environmental, and washing conditions, leading to potential new manufacturing processes of e-textiles.
