First week back after Christmas has been a slow one, getting back into my rhythm and thinking about what I want to develop forward from last term. I went on the machines to do some piping. I tried it with a stretchy sports mesh using the silicone tubing. The feel of this sample it really bouncy and light, perhaps this could be used for a garment. And the mesh makes it breathable so could be used in sports wear. I also tried a sample using wadding inbeween PU coated fabric. Again this could be used for sportswear as it is comfy and protective.
I also entered my laser cut neoprene into the New Design Britain competition in the surface design category. It was good practice having to describe the work, inspiration and uses in a professional way, so hopefully the next competition I enter will be a little less daunting. Photographing the work was also beneficial, working out how to capture the movement and expandability of the surface.
