Our ASG chapter sponsored a trip to NYC garment district last Saturday. I have been in a tizzy trying to decide what to make and wear. I imposed several conditions on the garment:
1. Must be fabric in my stash
2. If possible, fabric I purchase in NYC on a previous trip
3. Comfortable and breathable
4. Fashionable and have an element that I spied while inspiration shopping
5. Flattering ( always a challenge)
I managed to meet most of my criteria with the exception of #2. This first jacket I started was from NYC fabric, but turned out to be too HOT! You know women of a certain age must be concerned with temperature and fiber content! That jacket will be a fall project and will be showcased in a later post.
This is what I came up with and must say I was quite pleased.
(1) The fabric came from a little store in Harrisonburg, VA.
(3) Fiber content is Rayon so it is light and breathable.
(4) I used the back bow treatment that we spied on many jackets. ( 5) Well, that one I will leave up to you.
