This is a presentation of all completed work for my Fashion and Textiles project. This project was very enjoyable as I like to approach a lot of mixed media and experimental pieces. Working with a variety of materials and different approaches always helps generate ideas which you can incorporate into anything.
This task involved recycling an old t-shirt by cutting the fabric into strips then looping them through one another, which was actually crochet using my hands.
I actually to really like the overall result, I think that it looks very effective, especially on a black or coloured background. There are so many possibilities to use this technique. It’s possible to be used for tie dye, to embroider on, to make a collage or even incorporate into a garment.
Here we had a fashion and textile workshop were we had a great time experiencing different approaches to generating ideas and perspectives to creating a garment.
Our first task was to complete a sewing sample using the sewing machine, creating folds in the fabric. The second task was to create an origami coat/jacket using paper. Our third task was to move a piece of fabric around to create a dress idea. The final task was to sketch out your design ideas from your fabric samples onto a mannequin and use geometric shapes to create the shape of the garment.
