Tutorial with Jane McKeating

  • research qualities of linen as a fabric twisting, cutting, burning it etc to understand how it behaves. 
  • incorporate this knowledge into my pocket samples.
  • beware of using the laser cutter as it's all been done before.
  • Jane to find out if Hollings offer any technology workshops for fashion students that I could join.


I love the pristine paper qualities of the holland linen 
and the light coming through the scrim in my favourite check image.
