pleating, folding and smocking.

 this is my sample from the princess pleater. (a smocking and pleating machine)
way to take further - embroider and print onto pleated fabric.

 this was one of a few fabric manipulation samples from a few workshops. i thought about experimenting with pleating, but decided to stitch instead :)

this is a direct smocking samples of 'honeycomb' stitching. it adds texture and interest to any fabric.
