+After this I made two Processing sketches: one for the upper part '''([https://github.com/west468/Principia-Textilica-Course/blob/master/16-final-project/flowerrow_upperpart/flowerrow_upperpart.pde the sketch for the upper part in Github])''', one for the lower part '''([https://github.com/west468/Principia-Textilica-Course/blob/master/16-final-project/flowerrow_lowerpart/flowerrow_lowerpart.pde the sketch for the lower part in Github])'''. I wanted the sketches be about the final size so that I wouldn't need to worry too much about the scale. Since I had in mind certain limits for where the flowers should form I set the translate() command (as all the other commands as well) to randomise itself inside the diagonal area of the picture above. I did the distribution of the flowers somewhat manually, because I wanted the red and yellow flowers to be mixed. So I set the random area separately for each flower. Here is an example from the code:
+   float randomTranslateX1 = random(500, 600); // red flower 1
+   float randomTranslateY1 = random(50, 150);
+   float randomTranslateX2 = random(100, 400); // red flower 2
+   float randomTranslateY2 = random(400, 850);
+   float randomTranslateX3 = random(250, 500); // red flower 3
+   float randomTranslateY3 = random(400, 700);
+After I had this code ready I run the programme several times to find suitable results that would also be pleasing to the eye. Here are a couple of examples from both the upper and the lower parts.

+In the end, though, I ended up with this pattern:

+Now I could print the pattern out and test how it would look like on the skirt. I knew I would likely need to spread the design a bit, move the flowers further apart from each other, that is, because of the seams and thick places in the fabric. I also wanted the design to continue a tad over to the other side of the hem, so that it'd be visible also from the back a bit. After I had found places for all the flowers the fun could really begin. :)
