I love this jacket, it's not done but I like it all the same with the raggedy-arse look at the cuffs and neck that circumvents the cutsie print. It was modelled on a design in a Japanese craft book, (which I can locate if you want the details), but I did my own thing with it which is now my accepted practice, speaking as one with an instructions deficit disorder.
I'm making two more of these simultaneously. The second one I'm quilting myself and I LOVE IT! Will show you soon! I've always loved the asian sensibility for quilted clothing in cooler weather but I want to see it with a funkier edge. You feel me?
PS. Have been watching The Wire incessantly and it is the best damn television full stop. Am now in the fifth and final series and I can't bare the thought of it ending. If you haven't seen it, Do, but from the 1st series, don't skip around because it's complicated.
PPS. Now head over to Koo and the ladies who are at one with their creative selves. xx
Oh, wow! I love the jacket and everything around it too! No wonder your blog is in my "This week I am inspired by..." section on my blog! Thank you for sharing your amazing space with us!
