Seam experimentation

Recently for my new project on aviation, I have been exploring into how I could actually create my garment by what seam finishing I could include.
These seams are the ones I have created for my sketchbook, i am considering developing these chosen seams, so I have further research into the construction of my garment.
The seams I have explored are:
Basic zipper
Gathering technique
Pleating
Darts and how they can be manipulated where needed.

Late Christmas project

Happy new year! Sorry but I forgot to post a project that I had been working on before Christmas and the new year. So thought I'd post it now, better late than never. This Christmas jumper/top has been created using a black long sleeve top, different festive themed fabric cotton fat quarters. Finally with a variety of different ribbons and threads to finish the garment off. I think it looks really neat and has been quite successful, leave your feedback down in the comments :)

Paper garment inspired by Susan Cutts

I decided to create my own paper garment like what she does in sculpture form I used a fabric base in calico fir the bodice, then papa mashed with thin strips of paper over the top.

Finishing with the same paper roses over the top to cover the waistband.
