Subtraction Cutting is DESIGNING WITH PATTERNS, rather than creating patterns for designs.
On Thursday, our class all took part in a workshop based on subtraction cutting. 'Subtraction cutting' is an approach to garment pattern making that incorporates chance discovery, distance, gods-eye views and the capability to cut fast and inaccurately without bothering too much about the numbers and maths behind it.
The idea behind subtraction cutting is that the pattern that are cut don't represent the garments outward shape, but rather the negative spaces within the garment that make them hollow. Simply put, shaped holes cut from huge sheets of cloth through which the body moves.
