More of "The Jacket"

Ive had a request for some close-ups of the jacket.

End Of March Already

Where does the time go?? And as for my postings.I spend toooo much time reading other peoples blogs.I just love seeing what other people have created.

And finally here is a pic of the back of my jacket.
It came out of storage a couple of weeks ago when I did a small talk for a group of lovely ladies in Feilding.They were machine knitters, but seeing other types of work is always inspirational and they seemed to enjoy themselves.
I introduced them to the idea of ATC's.A great way to use some of their smaller samples.

'Piece de Resistance'

About time i put a photo up of my Biggest folly so far.
A mans suit jacket from an op-shop.Covered in fabric in the crazy quilt mode and then embellished with junk jewellery from my huge collection of the time.All the beading is hand sewin as was the fabric covering beneath.
Took me 3 years on- n- off to complete.
Needless to say it is very heavy but is still wearable. :)
Will find a photo of the back to put up soon.
