![]() ![]() The neatest solution we can think of is to run the traces (power, ground and data) through the polygon seams. LIBRECAD STRETCH HOW TOIn doing so we started to think in more detail about how to run the circuit through the garment. We then then marked the polygon pattern directly onto the jacket and transferred these lines (which will all become seams) back to the flat paper pattern pieces. We started out refining the jacket pattern so that it would be well fitted. the 3mm diameter fiber optics will run along the seams of these polygons and be individually addressable. As well as selecting the material we will re-make the jacket from and how to reconstruct his jacket’s pattern either through tracing the original or constructing it based on a shirt pattern.įor Sebastian’s partyGeometricJacket we are segmenting his jacket into triangular polygons. We’re starting by making samples to try out how to embed fiber optics into the seams. not this extreme, but to add some geometric shaping to the jacket… This is just an example to show the use of very light/translucent fabric, which might be an interesting solution considering a design that causes you to sweat less and needs to be washed less too. This is an example of a similar pattern but with a very fitted should area. ![]() The reason to use a non-stretch fabric would be because we intend to cut the pattern up into geometric pieces and insert the fiber optics and circuitry along these seams, which makes sense to do in non-stretch. One concern is that we’re not sure how this slouch looks will feel and look work in a non-stretch fabric. Not sure if it will feel/look good in non-stretch? Might need to solve it with a more fitted sleeve, but then we loose the blanket feel. Toile made up in non-stretch calico fabric. We’re trying to decide if we should re-make the pattern to be more fitted around the shoulders, or to keep it closer to the original design with no defined shoulders and more of a “wrapped up in a blanket feel” as the shoulders slouch over the shoulder and cling to the body because of friction. Since taking a closer look at Sebastian’s jacket I’ve also seen other people wearing a similar design but constructed differently. Sebastian has commissioned us to re-make his favorite hoodie/jacket with controllable/programmable lines of light on it that can light up to form geometric shapes and patterns. ![]()
