DEVELOPING THE DRAPED TOILE

a.png

I first started with a long rectangle of fabric with two cuts. I anchored the edge of the smaller cut (furthest from the side of the larger cut) to the left shoulder.

Each half of the edge cut was twisted upwards once so that corners closest to the centre were turned up and pinned to the left shoulder and the outer corners matched up to anchor on the right shoulder.

I wanted the front and back to be symmetrical (mirrored)

03

I added loose single gathers that were mirrored on both sides. I followed the natural flow of the fabric when adding gathers to give the garment an organic look.

When everything was attached and finalised, I sewed the gathers together. I aligned each pair of pins (one pair per gather) so that they were parallel to each other. This ensured that they were sewn in the specified direction indicated in the pattern.

I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians, the Wurundjeri people of the Woiworung language group, of the land within the Eastern Kulin Nation on which I was raised and am honoured to continue to live and practice upon. I would like to pay my respects to the Ancestors and Elders of the Kulin Nation, past and present, and extend my respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples.
