Subtraction and Tube Patterncutting

Subtraction and tube cutting are two innovative, creative styles of cutting garments.

Learning and trying out this technique allowed me to explore pattern's in a different much more free way. This technique is very much about experimentation as the outcome is hard to visualise until the garment has been made up. I will be experimenting further with this technique, using larges circles and more fabric to create different effect. The workshop session also provoked thoughts about what other creative cutting techniques there are to be researched and explored, also if I can come up with a new angle on an existing technique or come up with my own.
