In my sketch book I have started to visually communicate and develop the idea of using the folds seen in origami into potential garment ideas.
I have taken one of the pages in my sketchbook and attempted to create similar lines observed in the folds of the paper by sewing the pleats fabric.
For the colour scheme of the fabric I have used I used the vivid red that is apparent throughout the Japanese culture with the Black to make it stand out.
I selected to make the garment a cape because of the simplicity and quickness of production of the garment and as a canvas for the structured piece of fabric.
When choosing my fabric I just chose the two fabrics i used I selected fabric made same fibres with a similar weave so they would have similar characteristics and fall in the same way. The fabrics I chose were too thick for the folds meaning that the machine struggled to sew some of the folds into place.
If I was to create something like this again I would have to change my choice of fabric for a thinner fabric that the machine could handle and maybe stiffen it to get the crisp clean lines desired.
