I began looking at artists and designers that use geometric patterns and shapes. Using their work as inspiration I came up with my own geometric compositions, looking at different colours and shapes.
Once I had decided on a composition I then made a stencil to screen print the pattern I wanted onto Calico. I screen printed my geometric composition onto the fabric a few times, alternating the angle each time.
After leaving the print to dry I began to style the material into different garments.
Once I had tried the look of a few garments I decided the one that looked best with my material was a skirt. To give the skirt some shape I chose to pleat it from the wasit band, I did this by measuring how much of a fold I wanted before sewing the pleat in. After sewing it together I then ironed the pleats in to geive it more definitition.
