Fabrigami Ven's folded rose technique from Project Runway
kittykate Intermediate ON CANADA Member since 12/18/02 Posts: 1051	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 9/16/12 0:40 AM Ven loves this technique and it's his signature although he's going to auf himself from the show if he does it again. However, anyone have an idea how this is done? I'm too impatient to go and start trying to fold fabric, and can't figure out if it's stitched down anywhere. Fabrigami was the word invented for it by Laura Bennett from her blog, just nailed it. -- Edited on 9/16/12 0:41 AM --

I've done it once, and if I remember correctly you work from the back and from the outer most area to the centre. I don't know if this is the method he used, but that at least is a reference point. Link to some iris folding info Here it is done in fabric..

If that's how Ven is doing it, I have to say I'm not as impressed with the technique as I thought I might be....it's simply not that complex looking. .....she says before she attempts it..... (meaning, I may have to eat my words once I actually try it!) ------ http://jillybejoyful.blogspot.com/ a blog about creativity, sewing, vintage sewing machines, and...... life :)

Now I'm wondering if the reason why they don't show Ven making it is because he's a hot glue mess? I found some other origami things of how to make a rose, it's possible he's gluing that in the centre. -- Edited on 9/17/12 1:06 AM --

(meaning, I may have to eat my words once I actually try it!) I totally agree.... I am not as impressed with it now that I have seen that. Even if it is harder to do than it looks, it makes me think that Ven picked up the technique off some craft site, not that he came up with it himself in any way. Ven needs to go home soon, lol. ------ My Singer crew: Sergei - Serger 14T968DC (set up as coverstitch) Stella - Serger Stylist II 14J250 (set up as main overlock) Quincy - Quantum 9960 (my main SM) Newest addition: Stevie, my very first Featherweight!

Date: 9/17/12 11:41 AM I think the sample would look much better if it had been properly pressed. The fact that the garment was made out of one fabric makes a difference too. ------ Marilyn January 2009 to January 2010 81 yards out and 71yards in January 2010 to the present 106.7 yards out and 146.5 yards in.

He's a decent seamstress with one trick up his sleeve and not much creativity. Plus, as a couple of past shows have shown, he's a total ASS! I like Christopher, Dmitry, Fabio, Sonjia and Melissa?

For several weeks I've been trying to tell my friends that Ven did NOT invent that technique-- quilters and crafters have been doing it for years!!! ------ A balanced diet is a cupcake in each hand.
