Chapter 57: Three-dimensional cutting
With specific ideas, Yin Qianhe drew the design of the Hundred Butterfly Skirt in one day. However, the difficulty lies not in www.biquge.info the design, but in the production of ready-to-wear.
Domestic clothing has been flat cutting for thousands of years, and it was not until the twentieth century that the three-dimensional cutting method was introduced from abroad. For ancient clothing, which was mainly decorated with the pattern of the cloth itself and the embroidery plane pattern, flat cutting was sufficient. However, for modern dresses with complex shapes and many pleats and three-dimensional patterns, it is basically impossible to achieve the desired effect without cutting on the mannequin.
Tailor Wang: They definitely don't know how to three-dimensional tailoring, she does, but she is not very proficient, especially since she has not done it since graduating from school.
In addition, it is impossible to do it without a mannequin, and it is impossible to cut it directly on a real person. This problem is not difficult to solve, just find a carpenter to carve a simple model.
She remembered that the old woodmaker who had made her the sign last time was carving a Buddha statue on wood, and it would be a breeze for him to carve a mannequin.
On the same day, after closing the store, Yin Qianhe first went home and copied a medium-sized size in the size system he set, and then went to the woodworker to order the model.
When you come to Lin's house, you don't need to knock on the door to enter, because the courtyard door of his house is always open.
Yin Qianhe walked directly into the house and saw that Carpenter Lin was making a wooden box, so he asked, "Master Lin, are you busy?"
The carpenter raised his head and glanced at Yin Qianhe, and said, "Girl, wait a while, I'll finish this first."
"Oh, okay, no hurry."
Yin Qianhe said and found a stool and sat down. The room was littered with sawdust and wooden rolls, and there were various tools, as well as a seated statue of Guanyin that seemed to have been carved.
After the carpenter was busy with the work in hand, he came over to ask Yin Qianhe's intentions.
"I'm here to make a wood carving." Yin Qianhe replied.
"What does the girl want to do with woodcarving?"
Yin Qianhe took out the mannequin drawing he drew and showed it to the carpenter, "I just want to carve two of these mannequins." ”
The woodsman saw that the picture showed a human bust, but it had no head, no arms, and the lower body was completely replaced by a pole fixed to a circular base, a bit like the straw pole used by the vendors to insert rock sugar gourds.
The most puzzling thing is that it is not wearing clothes, and it should be a female statue.
The carpenter said with some embarrassment: "This, this...... I have carved statues of Guanyin, Buddhas, and Arhats, but I have never carved such a simple and strange thing. ”
"I've seen more of this than the statues you carved, so it should be fine, right?"
"But girl, what are you doing here? Also, did you forget to draw clothes for him? Still can't draw? Do you want me to carve it according to Guanyin Niangniang's clothes? ”
Yin Qianhe said: "I just want this, take it back and use it to make clothes." Master Lin, you just look at the pattern carving, the size I marked next to it, you can understand it at a glance. ”
The carpenter rubbed his palms and said in embarrassment: "Girl, how can I carve this portrait of yours as an old man!" ”
Yin Qianhe saw that he was embarrassed, but the model she drew had blurred the gender. It's just a bit of a concave and convex contrast, coupled with a slender body, it's easy for people to guess that it's a female statue.
Unexpectedly, like this, the carpenter was embarrassed to carve. If he was asked to carve a normal full~ nude statue, wouldn't it be even more amazing.
"Master Lin, if you really don't want to carve it like this, then carve it with the simplest short top, as long as it doesn't affect me to dress it in the future."
The carpenter thought for a moment and said, "That's okay." Girl, are you a tailor? Do tailors still need this to make clothes? ”
"Almost, I made it myself."
"Okay, what kind of wood are you going to carve it from?"
"Just use the most ordinary ones, don't want those precious rosewood or something, I can't afford to use them."
"I see. When will you get the goods? ”
"I'm in a hurry, can you hurry up a bit? Anyway, this is also simple, as long as the carving is smooth, and there is no ornamentation. ”
"Well, that's good. When I finish the box at hand tomorrow, I'll help you catch up, and it will be fine in about six or seven days. ”
"Okay, thank you, Master Lin. Then I'll pick up one in a few days and go back to use, and you can carve the rest for two more days. ”
After ordering the model at the carpenter's place, Yin Qianhe went home. After dinner, I went into retreat to work on design. Sometimes the inspiration is like a spring, I really don't want to stop, and before I know it, I stay up for nearly an all-nighter, and of course I can't get up the next day.
Yin Qianyi knocked on the door to get her up for breakfast, she only said in a daze that she would not go to the store today, and asked Yin Qianyi to go to the store for a day on her behalf, and then continued to sleep. When she really woke up, it was already noon, and Yin Qianyi came back to cook lunch. In the afternoon, she still didn't go to the store, and stayed at home to continue drawing. This was the case for two or three days in a row.
When her design drawings were almost drawn, she thought that Carpenter Lin should also make a mannequin, so she went to Lin's house to pick up the goods.
The model is indeed ready, and it is really wearing a cardigan. But the carpenter still wrapped it in a coarse cloth, as if he couldn't see anyone, and he had to let Yin Qianhe wrap it like this and bring it back.
Yin Qianhe had no choice but to carry the model home with the piece of cloth, and then put it in the workshop, and the workers were curious to gather around to see this rare thing, and they didn't know what it was.
"Miss Yin, what is this? It looks like a portrait, but it has no head or hands, so don't scare us here. ”
Yin Qianhe smiled: "This is indeed a portrait, called a mannequin." But I'm not here to scare you, but to make clothes. ”
"We do a good job of making clothes, why do we need this? Moreover, it makes people feel hairy when they see it. Someone said.
Tailor Wang also asked curiously: "I have been a tailor for half my life, and I have never seen this kind of monster piece, how to use this?" ”
"Of course, you don't need a mannequin to make your usual clothes, but if you want to make a few new designs of mine, you have to use them. Wait a minute. ”
After Yin Qianhe finished speaking, he went back to the room to get her new design drawing.
"Look, it's such a dress, which of you can cut it out on the table?"
Everyone looked at the design drawings in Yin Qianhe's hand, and they were all dumbfounded. They had never seen such intricate clothes, let alone done them.
The picture depicts a diagonally wavy bandeau skirt with a cinched waist and wavy pleats at the lower edge of the skirt, and a wavy lace on the right side that separates the entire hem of the skirt into two parts. The short pendulum part is just a simple lotus pink, with no pattern and no decoration; The long pendulum part is decorated with many three-dimensional small bows, with a variety of colors, forming a colorful bow belt.
The bow band is wide to narrow, the color is light to dark, and it extends from the lower edge of the skirt to the waist, and ends with a large bow at the waist, which looks like a hundred birds and a phoenix dancing with a hundred butterflies. The upper part of the waist is also folded, especially the chest composed of many petals, which is completely made of round carving.
"What kind of clothes is this?" Everyone couldn't help but sigh after watching it.
