I don't know for sure how I am going to treat it to tesselate it. I want it to be a semi-corset style. I've wanted to since this tessellation http://www.flickr.com/photos/christine42/181012414/(probably the actual design I'll use), but time keeps being a factor. For shaping I was going to make only the front be tesselated and make the back a fabric that had stretch or reinforce the tessellation and make the shaping be in the cut. Initially I wanted to make it a leather, the color seen in the photograph, but thickness of available leather was a huge issue. I am envious of your class. It has been a long time since I sewed anything. LOL I just bought fabric to attempt a tessellated belt out of “plumwood” faux suede. I don’t know for sure how I am going to treat it to tesselate it.

I've been playing around with the idea of tessellation-inspired waist girders/belts as a fashion accessory (lots of origami-inspired sketches in my fashion design classes). They would have to constructed of something flexible that would still hold the shape. Neat!
