Making of the rest of the garments
Sleeves, inspired by fish fins.
Material: Pleated polyester fabric.
Technique to create the effect:
- Connect the pleats on one end tightly together using elastic thread.
- On the other end, sew on bias tape.
- Insert thick nylon thread into the bias tape and close off. Push as much nylon thread into the pocket as possible.
- Dye: Polyester cannot absorb dyes like cotton. Instead, use fabric paint and rub it on the fabric till even. Then apply heat (hair dryer or iron with cover) till it sets.
