You've see the lattice in the garden -- a ladder-llike strcture for climbing vines, etc. Imagine such a structure for holding cloth or other material in designing different articles of clothing.(I named this "clarattice" for my dressmaker mother, Clara Elizabeth Tinsley Hays, a neglected genius.
- Build a "grid" of geometric structure -- triangles, rectangles, etc. -- with teflon borders and blank interiors;
- stitch the teflon on the "outside", leave unstitched on the "inside" for "fitting" purposes.
- You can then fit any kind of material into the "interior" teflon boundaries and press tight.
- In this was you can build a material surface with a "grid" of a varicolored, varipatterned, varitextured nature,
- for dresses, shirts, blouses, skirts, pants, hats, etc.
