Origami Textile: Creative Pattern Cutting Techniques

Origami Textile: Creative Pattern Cutting Techniques

“Congratulations on finishing this course. I hope you have found it interesting and learned a lot. You've learned to make a full dress in 2 different stages and using 2 different techniques. Now it's your turn to create a beautiful dress. Let me show you an example of how I would like to see your course project process: First Steps Once you’ve gathered your materials, start preparing the calico fabric by preparing 4 pieces of rectangular fabrics for the top bodice front and back and for Skirt's bodice front and back. Only make rough measurements. The Moulage Prepare the upper Moulage, the top bodice (front and back) of the dress, and then the lower Moulage, the skirt. Don’t forget to verify enough "ease" for comfort movement and wearability in both cases.

The Pattern Prepare the dress pattern by drawing the style lines and ensuring the style lines go through the critical points. Cut the calico fabric following my recommendations. Remember that leaving the opening on the center back up to the hip line is important. The Dress Set up the dress / to verify its wearability, cut out the fabric for the whole dress, and ensure it is around it. Then, set up a front dress pattern on paper and close the darts to prepare for the style line (Origami Bamboo). Insert the Origami depths. Once the style lines are done, insert the triangular colored papers as the depth on Bamboo style lines. Once the pattern is done, you need to separate it into four pieces, cutting out on the waistlines and then cutting the fabric with seam allowances. Finally, start sewing! Once your project is ready, share it on the forum by clicking the "Create your project" button. I will look at your publications as soon as possible and answer any doubts that need clarification. In the meantime, I encourage you to see what your fellow students have been up to and comment on their posts. See you soon!”

“Many thanks for being part of my course. Hopefully it's been a good experience for you and will be productive enough for your promising future. Bamboo technique can be translated to other elements of the garment. For example, I have created other dress using same bamboo techniques on the back. I challenge you to use my technique to make your own interpretation. Please keep being ambitious, having curiosity beyond boundaries. I taught you a way of working, but please be free to experiment. If you have any doubts in the process, I will be in the forum to help you. Please share with us some pi...”
