Fabric Origami Embellishments - Workshop

One of the basic techniques of making is folding - folding paper, folding textiles or even folding plastic. I've been experimenting with folds, and my initial inspiration came from two talented ladies from Hong Kong, Phoebe and Kar, who run Stitch Paperie and Knot, respectively.

"Stitch Paperie" is a lifestyle brand focused on using paper as a design element. It is devoted to merging traditional embroidery art into innovative designs and creations. "Knot" is a fashion brand of parentage clothing which is focused on womenswear and kids wear.

Both ladies came together to offer origami embellished clothing, and have shared it as a good way of enhancing garments. 

"I like exploring new games with my son,  especially enjoy old/traditional stuffs/ games. ……I want my sons to be curious on things around, not only focus on digital media things, ....I was brainstorming for new ideas and came up withthe idea of using fabric to replace paper to do the origami animals."  Kar

"We are interested in all the things about paper, especially origami, it simple and fun, which give children as well as adults imaginative; we are happy to found our friend Knot actually did this,  so we invited her to have workshop in our shop, and apply more interesting stitching techniques on it and introduce to our friends" Phoebe

Phoebe and Kar encouraged me try out my own origami embellishments, and it has been very satisfying.  This is what I got.
