Project Development¶
Cherry Blossom Girl is a story of co creation with my teenage daughter as a reply to the fast fashion industry. In this page, you will find all the elements and explanations about the technical aspects of the project.

The Pattern¶
First elements¶
Zero Waste Scheme¶
Protoytpe¶
CLO 3D¶
...Finally came to a result
Madder Dying¶
One of the previous steps will be to make samples of madder dyeing with my hemp, to see how the bfiber will react. This will help me as well to define the intensity of the colour, playing with the concentration of madder powder and the lasting of the bath.
You can finf below the description of the diffrerent tests I made :)
Dealing with Leftovers¶
Part of my leftovers will be used to make the biais that will finish properly the front and the neck of the dress. I thought about different options to give a usefulness to these leftovers, like making an embroidered label that would be linked to the project.
Making biais¶
Embroidered Label¶
I found different designs of QR codes and made some tests on my fabric to test if a phone could read it and at first sight, it seems to work !!! Somehow, you have to keep it well flat, it doesn't work so well when you wear the clothe...
The Assembling¶
So, everything's ready, the fabrication step is going to begin !!! Before cuting my fabric, I like preparing the mounting range, to avoid errors or miss elements.

15 days left !!!¶
Oh my God, this is the final step before the big presentation !!! I feel quite scared and so tired at the same time... Sometimes, I'm completely in doubt : will I be able to finish on time, and to present a result I'm proud of ?!!
I know I won't be able to go further on Clo 3D. This takes me too much time and I have to make choices.
So I let down the idea to make a virtual show on Clo, hope I could do it later !
Here is my presentation for the last tutoring session !
