. . . . . to felt, dye, stitch, gather plants to eco print. My mind is full of ideas and plans but because of my accident, I've been way behind. I've been invited to do a fashion show at a luncheon for a ladies club on Fripp Island, on April 15. I'm very honored and excited about this because they have invited me to give a presentation and the members will be the models so it's a great opportunity for me to promote felt making and eco printing to a local community.
The beautiful weather is here but if the truth be told, I do love a rainy day too - I think it is in my blood because maybe you don't know but it rains a lot in Scotland, the land of my birth and early years so I find it to be a comfort.
I took the plunge and cut up the white nuno fabric that I felted a few weeks ago and stitched it all by hand into a lovely flowing jacket that fits perfectly; it isn't quite dry yet, so I'll get a better picture when it is. Madonna (the name of my body brace who is now a working girl) had her first real job and she worked like a charm, although she is not so beautiful to photograph she aims to please with the fit! For a pattern I copied a jacket that I have and there are a lot of opportunities with the simplicity for embellishment. I still have quite a bit of the nuno yardage left so I'll have to come up with another idea to use it. I thought about something to match the jacket, but a skirt of the same fabric would be just too much.

a skirt would be lovely to wear separately, though. this is soooo beautiful. (Andrea Ros here.)

ReplyDeleteThank you Mattie, Andrea and Denise! ! Andrea, wish I had a good skirt pattern - would have to be for someone other than me with all that texture or I'd look like a giant snowball coming!
