Today I tried using different methods on my feathers to see what results I could get. I tried using lace and stitched it onto the screen printed feathers, this didnt work as well as I hoped because I couldnt cut the fabric out behind it very well, so it just looked sloppy, it took me a while, but I will definitely try it again on the vanishing fabric, hopefully this time it will work (fingers crossed). The feather that I previously created using vanishing fabric lacked structure and was hard to work with, I decided it would be a good idea to be able to manipulate it more. On the back of the free stitched feather, I used zig-zag stitch to attach a strand of wire to make the feather easier to work with. Its very time consuming creating the feathers solely using sewing and the machine, I think I need to find a different method to produce the mass of feathers for my garment. Here are some images of my experimentation of creating some form of garment (bare in mind, this is my first experimentation and it will get better, I promise)...
