I'm
doing a two-day course at Morley College taught by Manisola Omotoso
called Pattern Magic. It's based around the book of the same name,
which is full of amazing ideas for creating sculptural effects on
sewn garments, but doesn't exactly hold your hand and guide you
through them. The idea behind the course is to offer more detailed
instructions for carrying out the techniques in the book.
I
thought I'd have more to say this evening, but today was taken up
with drafting a block for a bodice and then using that to create a
pattern for one of the designs in the book. I have a lovely
collection of bits of paper with sums and shapes drawn all over them,
(this book is math-tastic), but no textiles to show off yet and no
idea if I'll have any time to work on this before next weekend.
Frustratingly,
there's lots of stuff I'd like to blog about right now, but it's all
either unfinished or intended as a surprise for people who I think
read this blog! Maybe in December I'll finally be able to post some
pictures.
