Sub cut 101




So here is Julian at the workshop in Canberra. It was a whirlwind day and a whirlwind tour for him. Here he is cutting live and modeling a garment he made insanely quickly.

Below is my dress which needs some work. I possibly should have saved my gorgeous silk till I had practiced it a bit, but oh well. I will tweak and tweak till I'm happy. I have some ideas of how to transpose this to felt. It will not have the same drape as a woven fabric but interesting nonetheless
The second dress is one I made once I got home. Sorry bit hard to model and take snaps at the same time. I probably should have moved the windex and the washing basket too!!

    Very nice Pam
    I looked at the add for this and thought it sounded great..the idea of making it for me turned me off...I'm not sure it would suit me... I like yours. you would get a different look with the felt. It's alot of silk. I bet it feels great to wear.
    well done xx shazz
