No Seams! No Sewing!

We continue to explore seamless garment contruction using a resist pattern. Taking advantage of the selvedge edges of the silk at hemlines and necklines makes for a clean finish. It is fun to try and construct the garment at the same time you are doing the feltmaking process rather than making yardage and then sewing the piece in a more conventional manner. I enjoy the many levels of planning involved and the fun of trying new approaches to accomplish the desired effect. Allows my inner scientist to marry with my artist!
