Club kids outfit

Club kids was the next theme at Cybil's House and at first I didn't have a clue what to do. But after a bit of research online I decided to go with some kind of geometric origami design. I don't know if this fitted into the theme but thought it would be interesting to do.

Some of these designs were pretty complex so I settled on creating one like this;

I had to take the piece apart mentally and created a miniature version of the pattern pieces so that I could get the correct shape. I then scaled it up to my measurements.

The fabric I used was a thick white canvas type material Ultimate Craft in Camden. The material was stiff so that it would stand up (hopefully). It was also easy to cut out and sew together. I used my overlocker which makes things a bit easier going through layers of heavy material. However, it was at this point the overlocker broke. See more about this story in this post.

It wasn't quite stiff enough to stand up, so I decided to bend the end points inwards.

I had some material left over, but not enough to make a skirt. Instead I decided to cut the material into long triangles and sew them together with some black triangles made from material I had left over from another project.

Was quite happy with the result;
