Process
Reflection:
- The use of stretchable material for the applique was hard to manipulate when sewing, because the stretch will cause the fabric to expand or crease on one side.
- This technique is adequate for upcycling unwanted fabric into new materials or even creating design on its own. A good example of applique pieces would be from the brand Comme des Garcons by Rei Kawakubo.
