After realising the separate leather pieces didn't tessellate well enough to create the base fabric that I wanted, I went back to the laser cutter and started to use the scoring option instead of cutting. This means that I can create the geometrically patterned base fabrics easily and more quickly. They also bend and move in a 3D manner if scored well enough. The only draw back with this method is that the base fabric can only be one colour. However, I can print other colours and 3D elements to the fabric through embellishment and embroidery.
