When I say fabric and glue- what would be the first thing you think of… mine was ‘seriously? Really? Are you sure? Will it work?'
But after first hand experimentation - I can reveal that it really does work, and looks very intriguing and stimulating.
Today’s experiment was to create a 3D fabric shape by moulding stretch fabric over a 3D structure of any sort. With this new stiffened and manipulated fabric, drape it onto a manniquin to see what silhouettes it can create.
To get us started on this experiment, we decided to build the structure as a group – so there was Me, Belgin and QC working on this miscellaneous shape.

Process
1. Build Shape
2. Secure shape to surface
3. Stretch Stockinette fabric ( or any stretch fabric) over shape - define angles with use of
string and clips
string and clips
4. Apply diluted glue to the fabric ( alternately, you can dip the fabric in the glue
beforehand)
5. Wait to dry and take off structure

What is it? – I’m not sure yet but it already looks it will be quite exciting when take off the 3D model.
Can’t wait to take it off - very mysterious !!
Oh and how can i miss out on the opportunity of taking pictures through peep holes? Below are images of what the Structure looks like from the inside .
