I have used card or plastic sheets in order to create supports for manipulated fabric forms. I stretch the fabric over the cut card or plastic sheet shapes and then I use a needle and thread to stretch and secure the piece of fabric to the support structure. This ensures that the fabric can be stretched over the support structure in a sensitive manner. It also provides opportunities to add and manipulate extra padding between the underside of the piece of fabric and the support structure. Individual stretched fabric forms over support structures can then be sewn onto fabric backgrounds, or even attached to other fabric forms stretched onto separate support structures.
