Description

I have had the idea for a little spring jackets with mod details for a while, bat as with all of my projects here in Peru, finding the fabric I imagined has been very difficult.

I had finally given up on the project and decided to wait for my return to new york, when killing time in an upholstery/tapestry shop I found this fabric among mounds of browns and earth tone textiles. This light colors stood out and I fell in love! There was less than a meter and a half of this fabric and about 40cm of that was damaged, but I made it work and this is what resulted!!

I especially love how the pattern matches up.

    Very nice!!!! Love the simple shape and the light feel of the fabric! You did an excellent job, but one comes to expect that having seen your other projects! :-)

    A very nice llittle jacket, just the kind of unconstructed but dramatic jacket that I like to make – very nice job and choice of fabric.
