Fabric Manipulation

Experimental shabori techniques.

 Beige and Blue die gave a mucky effect on muslin fabric. Shiny fabric used in suffolk puffs give a touch of glamor to the sample. 

Plaid was a theme that kept popping up in my research so i distressed the seams of muslin fabric to create this effect. 

 

This is a developed sample using pin ticks and jagged tucks overlaying each other randomly. Netted red fabric overlapped and bonderwebbed on top gave an effective grungy look. 

I decided to use patchwork for the final garment front, as it showed a combination of different fabric manipulation techniques and went well with the grungy theme. I love the tassels positioned diagonally across the garment sample, these consist of the tie died cotton with occasional deep red silk ones too, giving a glamorous effect.
