Not too long ago I had a call from a student at Bath University
looking for help quilting fabric for one of the designs for her final collection.
The materials were not your usual patchwork cottons .. no indeed ... a milky white slippery waterproof fabric that I thought was PVC but turned out to be super expensive latex, layered over an airtex stretch fabric, plus a layer of fluffy batting and backed with white calico.
The quilting was simple enough - just straight lines but finding a process for quilting a slippery latex was interesting BUT thankfully not impossible.
3.5m of puffy quilted snowy white fabric was the result.

But look what Rebecca made with it!
Rebecca qualified with a first class honours and is currently overseas
being interviewed for a MAJOR fashion house.
I am SOOOOO delighted for her and feel honoured to have a played a
very small part in her life.
Look at the rest of her catwalk fashion show.
I just love all her creations.
Aren't they cool!
Very interesting and cool work! Love the white...simple stitching worked great!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are all VERY cool.
ReplyDeleteAnd very wearable too.
Although maybethe last creation you'd wear at a party?
Really amazing stuff - makes me feel dead old fashioned.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the little red riding hood fabric. So pretty.
