I used to love crafts and painting when I was young. Then my attention turned to fabric and there was no looking back. For me, nothing even comes closer to fabric and sewing in exploring creativity. While painting allowed me to explore color on a flat surface, Fabric Manipulation opened a new dimension: the ability to sculpt with cloth – it is beautiful, economical and ticks all my creative boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabric manipulation is the art of taking a plain, flat textile and physically transforming its structure\u2014turning it from something ordinary into a three-dimensional work of art.Tucks, pleats, smocking, and structural folds turns fabric into something else in front of my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love that if you try any one of the methods described below, your results will be entirely unique and different from mine, like you are creating a one-of-a-kind piece of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
