Burda Style For people who sew
Description
My final piece for my A2 textiles project on glass!
The cut away sections at the front were inspired by the shapes of stained glass from my local cathedral.
The sleeve multi-coloured pleating/folding with organza was inspired by the amazing glass work of Dale Chihuly. The imagery of saints faces was all taken from stained glass panels and free-hand machine embroidered on the front and painted onto silk on the back. The rest of the back was largely done using image transfer paper and my own digitally manipulated photos of stained glass.
This has taken SO MANY HOURS but I’m so happy it’s done, I hope you like it…and that I get a good grade! ;)
(Oooh, and thanks to fiona for modelling!)
Material Notes
organza of many colours, bondaweb, threads, transfer paper, 'gold' foil, silk, silk paint, black cotton.

Thanks! I’ve got an interview for an art/textile foundation course the week after next so I might take some pictures of it along with me!

It’s art! You obviously put a huge amount of work into this garment and it shows! I think it’s fabulous and I’d be surprised if you didn’t get a good grade for it. While it is too fancy and sophisticated for every day wear, I love the cut and with a plain fabric it would make a classy coat to wear every day.

Thank you, it’s so encouraging to have positive feedback! and you’ve tempted me to make a more wearable version now…I made the basic pattern myself so cut it out in plain cotton initially just to check it hung right- so I may have to get it back out and finish it! :)
