The clear crystal rain coat DIY



Hello sweet readers today i would like to share with you my lasted diy.It's a rain coat.
It is inspired at the work of Irina Shaposhnikova Crystallographica.

I was amazed by her work but i knew i would not find anything that looked like this in the market,this is her graduation collection so i tried with some good old fashion geometry to make a an inspired design i thought it would make a fantastic clear rain coat,i thought the clear would give the crystal look to it.
Believe it or not it's made with plastic tablecloths sold by meters,i got 2 meters for 5 euros.
I've made a paper pattern,then i've numbered and copied all the pieces,put it on the plastic with paper scotch and then cut leaving seam allowance.Then i've sewn all the pieces together with the paper on and then i've taken off the paper.








I had to make some fixing moving from the 2d pattern to the 3d coat.
It's been an adventure to come to the end because i've started with an idea in mind but in the making i had to find solutions to problems as they presented.
This coat still needs the closure,i still not have in mind the solution to this problem because i don't want to ruin the simmetry of the coat,i'll use maybe a transparent zipper or plastic hooks i'm still thinking.

The power of felt

The felt is a fabric made of compressed wool fibers. The main use of it are hats but it's very versatile and the possibility to keep a shape make it suitable for scuptural pieces and origami experiments

Felt patterns



Fantastic felt origami coats and jackets by Alexandra Verschueren
These coats are dynamic,as you can see some of them have an appereance closed,kind of classic but when opened reveal their uniqueness.
What i can say of the white coat?Fantastic,the body is essential,the neck undefined,the design unisex,all to exalt the bold unexpeted statement sleeves

Fantastici cappotti stile origami by Alexandra Verschueren
Questi cappotti sono dinamici, chiusi hanno un aspetto piuttosto classico ma aprendoli rivelano la loro particolarità,un taglio origami e inaspettato.
Che dire poi del cappotto bianco? Un taglio essenziale, quasi indefinito dritto e unisex,un collo neanche accennato,tutto per mettere in risalto le maniche uniche e sorprendenti.
