Urban - Sampling

Upon completing our samples moved onto working with fabrics and creating manipulations with fabric. We were also encouraged to use our printed fabrics to enhance our samples as for our final outcome we were to create two dresses made with both print and manipulation. I decided to revisit pintucks and slash and fray techniques which I was familiar with as well as Shibori and origami we were both relatively new to me. I had done origami before however I had never tried origami in fabrics rather than paper. Shibori was new to me and I found out a lot. For example Shibori shouldn't be tried on a screen printed fabric particularly if you don't want it to catch fire.....
