Fabric Slashing

Steps

1. Choose fabrics or fabric scraps

2. Cut scraps and exterior fabric in desired size/shapes

3. Overlap scraps on the exterior fabric

5. Cut through the layers between the stitches

Fabric slashing is a technique most commonly used in order to use up your textiile scraps. The technique requires overlapping scraps of fabric of different textures and colours, sewing them together in an outside layer and cutting through the scraps to reveal the layers underneath

Interventions

1. Cutting through the layers using the laser cutter

2. Not using an outside layer

3. Using a needle/comb to separate all the threads and create a rug-like texture
