Digital Fabrication 2: Smocking

The aim of this project is to manipulate and smock a piece of clothing that embodies the torso of a human body, where a 3D printed clasp will be designed and used to connect clothing piece created with one another.

How Can I include smocking’s into a pant that makes a felt, wool or jeans pant comfortable?

Pattern making and testing

Smocking Experimentation

: Pant inspiration

: Figuring out the silhouette of my pants

: patterning with mushroom laser cut outs

: Laser print cut outs on wool

: Final Pant pattern

Due to time constraints, I had to continue focusing only on the cape that would hide my busk. The cape will include leaf smockings such as laser cut out mushroom patches.

Planning and constructing the cape

: Construction plans of my cape

: Pattern Patches, Laser cut out dark grey wool

: Laser cutting mushroom pattern

: Drawing grid on fabric for smockings

: Spraying shroom pattern on my jacket

: Final smockings of my bag pack

: Trapping, manipulating and smocking the fabric of my jacket

Draping the fabric

: Drapping’s

: Smocked sleeves

: Placing the clasp

: Not happy yet!

: 3D Printing my 13

: “13” 3D printed clasp

Because I wasn’t happy yet how the clasp was positioned and how it visually confronted my eye in an overwhelming way I decided to change that my printing a small piece of the 1 and coloring it in red with a graffiti spray dose. Now it’s still a 13 in an a-symmetry style which has the color of a compass.
