Creative Tech : Who Am I?

Creative Tech : Who Am I?

  • General Personality through Answering Questionnaire: I’ve always thought that I’m very simple and straight forward thinking person but by answering those questions, I figured out that I’m far from what I’ve always thought. I’m very complicated and confused character. I have too many thoughts and can’t decide things easily. Moreover, I have many different personalities. For instance, sometimes I’m very bright and optimistic person but sometimes I’m so skeptical and cynical.
  • Paper Structure : To express my personality, which has so many thoughts and perspectives, I wanted to show that my different personalities are the layers. So I picked two that I think it conveys message the most.
  • Paper Structure to Garment: Based on my paper structure, I had to come up with how to show many layers of my thoughts and personalities. I was thinking about cutting the muslin really thin just like paper structure, but I found out that since the muslin is not stiff, they dropped helplessly to the ground. So I came up with another idea that is pleats. Pleats consist of layers top of layers. I made pleats in different length and width so that I can show the variations of the pleats which should portray myself.
  • Sewing Method : Firstly, I made a basic dress that I put pleats on, it’s based on basic bodice from our class. Then I made pleats individually, two edges are machine sewn and quarters of pleats are hand sewn to stay still. Flowy pleats on the basic dress is all hand sewn. Especially, the pleats over the zipper, I needed to add snaps so that I can take it off and take it out without disturbing the zipper. Facings are on the front, back and skirt’s hems.
