subtraction cutting with Julian Roberts


Julian Roberts has taught 6 workshops in Australia this week
during which time students have made 160 garments 
[and Julian himself has made 6 - one in each class]



























i'm a bit slow with stitching
and it took me two full days to finish my dress
and stitch in a lining

when i finished it
i gave it to my friend Marion
i was very pleased
it fits her even though i didn't measure her
when cutting it out



it's made of velvet and silk organza
and dyed with a bucket full of foresty things

  8. That is so lovely and thoroughly fascinating. A great method to combine with bucketfuls of foresty things. I'm in love with this technique and dying to learn more.
