Split Beginnings


The Vent


Inspired by the technique of constructing the vent I proceeded to experiment with the process of sinking the needle into an exact finishing stitch and attaching an additional piece of fabric.



I decided that the constant within my experiment would be that of the cut fabric pieces, leaving their placement to act as the variable.

The wrong side.


This experiment resulted in an interesting surface texture, which produced two vastly different aesthetics depending upon whether the peaks were arranged in a concave or convex manner.





I like the thought of using this technique to create a textured piece of cloth which can then be integrated into the traditionally structured nature of the tailored jacket.
