Fashioning Fur | Production |
Where the dome construction consists out of horizontal layers, its fabric counterpart establishes the Decahat shape by merging vertical straps of fur, each individually cut and joined to the top piece, providing continuity in pile direction, with little stitches tightening marked edge-lines as to facilitate a genuine polyhedral effect.

Patterns, Organized | Reflection |
During the past years I’ve accumulated a complete bookshelve’s worth of homedrawn patterns, labeled and classified in folders, that denominate projects (cathedral cape, white shirt) or guidelines (jabots, base patterns), leaving them readily referenceable whilst creating new pieces from previously taken measurements.
It does occur, however, that after a lengthy period of labour-intensive work, I find myself with quite a stack of un-named patterns, exhibiting seemingly random marks and calculations all over, waiting to receive their corrections and labeling, which often makes for a very insightful chore to be done before entering the next phase.

The hat‘s construction, erected from subsequent layers of thin, though rigid, greyboard, fastened using both adhesive and staples, here displayed in the process of being finished, receiving its lining on gently pressing the softly glued seams into the securely carved ribs, covering all bearings and face-supporting connections.
