This inflatable was the most impromptu because I had no plan for it, I just knew I wanted a mesh of shapes to create an abstract form. I assembled the 3 main sphere using a mixture of exposed and closed seams, as well as pleats. I sewed the main spheres shut, and then cut out a circle to attach the other sphere to it (hence the impromptu attitude). I added some appendages using a variety of cone shapes and techniques as well. Overall, I really like the way this turned out! I feel like just using grey helped it read as a single monolith. The size is also really satisfying to hold and cuddle with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a giant jewelry clasp that is interactive. I started by sketching the mechanics of a real jewelry clasp, and then made a large pattern out of it by sketching on kraft paper. By having a separate tube in the center connecting all the pieces, the hot pink middle piece is able to move like a jewelry clasp and “open and close”. This one took a long time just because of the patterning aspect. It also has about 5 pieces that compose it, so it was a lot of individual piece to assemble. I also had a learning curve with learning how to sew inftatables with cutouts in the center. I hand sewed all the pieces with the cutouts in the center using a hidden hem stitch. Overall though, this one came out the cleanest because of the patterning and planning that went into it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This piece was inspired by the Pigeon Bagel (in squirrel hill) logo on a T-shirt I have by them. I freehanded this one, but had a clear idea on my end goal unlike the abstract grey one. I used darts to make the shape of the bagel, and then attached them via zipper. Because I didn’t preplan, the zipper was really hard to attach and I had to do a lot of fabric maneuvering on the sewing machine. I then sewed the cream cheese as a separate part, and finally at the end cut out holes for the arms and legs. The arms and legs can be pulled to elongate one side versus the other. I also wanted to put a spin on the design so I made all the shoes and gloves different colors. I think this piece did a good job achieving the interactivity that I wanted it to have as a playful piece. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
