Viewing: Origami Fashion with Uyen Nguyen Part 1 & Origami Fashion with Uyen Nguyen Part 2
As I watched these videos, I was vaguely remembering something I saw on TikTok one day that I thought was genius. It took me a while to really piece together what I was remembering, and then to try and find it was not easy, but I did it! Baby clothes that grow with the kid. Not only is this a great idea for the rapid rate that children grow at, but it also reduces waste! If you want more info, I have added a link under the photo.

| My Origami! |
When I did the first row, I thought this was super easy, then i got stumped as soon as I got to row 2. I had unknowingly made a mistake that took me quite a while to resolve! Row 3 was also a challenge and I was nervous as I didn't know how I made that mistake in row 2 and I was afraid to do it again. Once row 3 was done, and done right, the following rows got easier and easier as I got the hand of it. By the end it was actually quite relaxing. Like knitting (when I knew how to knit).
I have an origami crane sitting on my desk at work, that I worked so hard on to create, which is why I keep it. But, realistically this crane is useless to me. It was really fun to create origami that is in a functional pattern that can actually be used! (obviously not my little sheet - but the pattern itself!). The tutorial video mentions how this fold is used in solar panels, and the viewing shows how it can be used in fashion!
Taylor - grow with you baby clothes sound/look brilliant! This pattern reminds me of the anatomy of the stomach. It is lined with folds called rugae that can stretch when we eat to accommodate our meal’s arrival and then fold back together in between meals. I wonder if other living things utilize this type of structure. It also looks really cool and “fidget-y” which I think students would love!
