My next step was to move the honey comb octagonal pattern over to illustrator. I decided I wanted to make the front of the dress two different strips of a chain-like pattern, one yellow, one black. I designed those strips so they fit into a dress shape and then lazer cut the first onto yellow cloth and the second onto black bloth. I had ironed on a stiff backing to the yellow and black felt before so it would hold it's shape better when sewn together. I then sewed the yellow and the black strips together connecting one side of each octagon together.
