So no photos just yet (sorry Zamb :) )
but I started work on an experimental piece for the little mini-capsule collection I want to do as my summer project (will launch a website for it and other sculptural/photog/furniture pieces I will do/have done this summer as well).
A brief rundown:
asymmetrical patchworked short sleeve shirt cut offset so the patchwork is angled 45 degrees from the vertical. Simple raw cuffs, hem and neckline.
I'll finish the upper neck with this new hanging style I came up with as well that I've taken a liking to (sort of like the pants hanging loops but built into the inner neckline... fully continuous with the rest of the shirt).
Going to be working with staining/treatment methods as well... for this first piece I'm going to work with irregular blood smear/dying. I love the coppery result from set-in blood and a full-on treatment will give the piece some textures that hopefully will be lovely!
For those pro-tailors out there.... any tips on cutting stretchy t-shirt fabric to ensure that patterns are dead on? It's very time consuming for me at the moment to cut out patterns with stretchy materials while making sure they're the exact specifications.
Novice question... I know [:$]
Thanks guys!
