Fabric Manipulation

As not all people know what’s the meaning of Fabric Manipulation? I will explain a little bit about fabric manipulation before I let you know what experiment that I have done in school.

Fabric manipulations are techniques that reshape a fabric or textile surface.

Let’s try some experiment that you don’t know it will be a success or fail. Just try until you get the right thing… Don’t give up, guys!!! Belief yourself ” you can do it and find something new” -XC-

The First Experiment

Actually, I didn’t know what I was doing in class. My lecturer gave 1-meter fabric to every student  and he said we only can use one shape to make something that interesting. I think the result of this experiment is quite nice. It was looked like chrysanthemum tea.

The Second Experiment: Smocking without threat and needle ??? I only used a stapler.

The Third Experiment

Can you guess what I’m thinking about this experiment?

Ehmmm… IT’S NOT NICE 😦 No comment for this experiment

It’s true, right???

The Fourth Experiment: Gathers on the thick fabric

The Fifth Experiment

The technique that I used to make this experiment is easy but it need a lot of time to finish it. I chose PVC fabric because it is not fray when I cut it.

Before I started the final garment with this fabric manipulation,  I did it with muslin fabric.

The Final Garment

If I had a lot of time, I would make sleeves… Never mind… Maybe I will continue it later if I am free. And If I had more money, I would not use PVC fabric. I would use the real leather because it does not have the ugly wrong side.

Thanks 🙂 -XC-
