Pleating Exercise

We had the pleasure to get Terry Weinert from F CIMENT PLEATING LTD, come in and show us some of his work.

These are the cardboard patterns that Terry uses to pleat his fabric.

This is my first attempt at pleating using  a cardboard pattern.

This was my outcome.

This exercise was good because it showed me how to create pleats using cardboard, and what is possible when you explore into different pattern shapes.

This is a dress that Terry made at his company for the Flake advert.

Sketch Book Work.

Tailored Jacket Workshop

I completed this workshop, it was a reconstruction exercise were i had to take apart a tailored jacket and then manipulated it onto the tailors bust to create interesting garment shapes.

Also this technique is used by the designers at Junky Styling, who recycle old garments and make them high end fashion.

These are just a few garments that Junky Styling have created.
