Start buildingHow it works
Horizontal lines displaced by two sine waves whose wavelengths do not divide into one another, with a phase offset added per line so the family shears as it descends. A single wave would give every line the same fixed nodes and the sheet would gather into a few dark seams; two incommensurate waves never repeat over the width, so the crests drift out of step and the fabric keeps folding somewhere new. The gathers you see are not drawn — they are where neighbouring lines happen to converge.
