Coat of Many Colors - A Side Trip!
Ready for black neckband and black piping! Part 1 After the holidays I was ready for a different design project. My friend, Luana, and I visited ‘Quilter’s Store Sedona’, a wonderful quilt shop in Sedona AZ a couple of months ago and we both fell in love with the “Shanghai Jacket”. There was a pattern available and we split the cost so we both could make one at the same time. http://www.quiltersstoresedona.com/shop/Patterns/Garments.htm I purchased a bag of silk strips from a shop on Etsy many months ago http://www.etsy.com/shop/SilkHouse and decided to use them on this jacket. Luana showed me how to sew the 1” or so strips together so I would not lose my mind during the process and we went to Joann’s for some additional pieces of fabric and piping. I have not used piping in years! Some of the fabrics I chose for large pieces! I will not buy the lining until I finish the outside of the jacket just in case...
