So we have been asked to look into pattern cutters who use alternative pattern cutting techniques, and deconstructive techniques. A few days ago I ordered a couple of brilliant books from amazon that I was shown by a lecturer, pattern magic 1 & 2 they are originally Japanese pattern cutting books but they now have an English version available. They have so many interesting and unusual ways for creating garments, one page I found to be brilliant was a dress patter page with pattern pieces to create a dress but rather than having a generic neck like the pattern pieces are extended so once the pieces are constructed there is fabric left to tie knots to create detailing on the front.
Other techniques used in this book are also linked a lot with knotting fabric and ways of constructing garments without having to stitch them. The book is written by Tomoko nakamichi in 2009.
