Module 5 - Chapter 6 - Pleats, Tucks and Gathers




Pin tuck 1: worked on a single layer of polyester organza with a coton thread inserted in the tunnel, resulting in a little sample with lots of movement and fine texture between the rows

 Pin tuck 2: here the tucks were created in a more less regular grid on a fine silk with a coton thread inserted in the channels
Pin tuck 3 : tucks placed randomly on a single layer of polyester organza, Here the stitching becomes more visible and the fabric distresses slightly near the stitching
 Pin tuck 4: a zigzag stitch on fine silk was used with the twin needle, no real texture was achieved here

 Pin tuck 5: here the coton fabric was first pleated before stitching the tucks in across the fabric


Pin tuck 6:this is a little experiment I did with a wool thread. It was inserted in the tunnels that were stitched very closely. Then I tried to felt the whole sample. Probably because of the character of the thread, no real felting happened. I might have to try this with felting wool
