Magic Shingo

 We were lucky enough to have a visit from Shingo Sato the master of 3D pattern cutting.

He showed us pieces from his vast collection of samples.

Each one pushes the boundaries of the normal pattern cutting procedure.

The results were truly inspiring.

My absolute favourite the Vortex dress.

The Vortex

He also held a workshop so we could put some of his techniques into practice. Learning a few of his tricks to achieve beautiful results.

Here is the finished skirt adding godets into the skirt and interesting seam lines.

This was a fantastic opportunity and we were very lucky to have Shingo visit us.
