Fabric Manipulation

I really enjoyed this project as it was about using different fabrics to create different techniques. When i had explored a wide range of different techniques i had to choose one final one ad then apply these too a figure of my choice.

The fastening to my sketchbook.
Roulea loops, an easy was to fasten any garment or accessory.

Manipulating loosely woven fabrics. Putting holes in it and taking out threads.

Pleating in new and interesting ways.


Quilting/ Reverse Applique. This is a great way of showing different textures and different colours.

Free machine stitching inspired by Vivienne Westwood shoes.

Basic Quilting.

Hand embroidery with applique. Different stitches including chain stitch, cross stitch, button stitch and french knots.

Frog closures using Bias cord binding.

Cut and slash, done the same way as reverse applique but in lines instead of boxes.

Applied to one of the figures as a dress.
