Fabric Manipulation

While I was doing some research for a design class I discovered a hand-sewing technique that creates this beautiful fabric manipulation! I was so in love with it that I decided to give it a try and use it in a garment that I am currently working on. 2 yards of fabric and 9 hours later, I ended up with the photo above! It was a lot of work, but it was totally worth it! I definitely improved my hand-sewing skills, and surprisingly, it was relaxing (except for those times when the thread became tangled and knotted).
