I thoroughly enjoyed this assignment and had so much fun exploring basic forms and learning different sewing techniques!<\/p>\n\n\n

This was the first object that I made. I started by taking a cube pattern but folded it different and then sewed it together. As I was stuffing it, I thought to experiment with twisting the final form to create these pouches that look like dangly bits. I then added more pouches to the form by stitching rectangles and then tying off the top with string that I sewed through the stuffed main form. To me this kind of looks like a mushroom, or a tree with dangling fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n

For the next form, I started by shirring a cube form that I slightly altered by making each of the slides double the length of the provided pattern; however, as I was putting it together, it seemed more like a pot so I decided to cut off the top and leave it open to add in a plant of sorts. I was going for a cactus kind of vibe as I created the top part of the form but it looks more like a person with their hands up. I really like how the shirring doesn’t completely shrink the blue fabric, almost implying that the form is growing and expanding.<\/p>\n\n\n

This form was inspired by the squalleye<\/a> object that Olivia shared with me. I really liked the bulges and the use of color to create a visual effect so I tried to recreate it with this object. I don’t think it was too successful in terms of creating ridges on the object but I do really like the visual effect that is created by using the fabrics that I did. The yellow triangles seem to grow out at the viewer, while the red square appears to almost shrink into the object.<\/p>\n\n\n

This one was probably my favorite form to make. I started by sewing 2 cones and then connecting them with the cylinder form without the spherical ends. Here I experimented with stitching on the outside of the fabric to create a visual effect – I stitched concentric circles on the cone pattern and free stitched a curvy pattern on the cylinder. After assembling the form, I then sewed in thread into the cones and tied it off using a taut line knot from my Boy Scout days so that you can adjust how tight it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
