Paper garment

For my 'white on white' project, during the 2nd year of college.
We were experimenting with different ways in which we could manipulate paper, to create different effects that kept the paper in hold.
This is my outcome, which I love with a woven bodice, 3D flower technique to create a sort of waistband, with a tule tutu skirt to add lift to the whole garment.

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

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