As a Designer and Seamstress, it is not uncommon for me to visualize a completely finished garment, merely by viewing a piece of fabric.
In the late Fall of 2002, I came across an awesome SALE, where I purchased this incredible 100% Indian Cotton Woven Sofa Throw, one of the 5 Throws I'd purchased that day.
Upon spying this most amazing, hand-woven, Oeuvre d'art ... most people would see ...
... a lovely Sofa Throw.
Me? I saw a warm cozy Jacket! A lovely, warm, Jacket that made a statement, and one which could be worn throughout all 4 Seasons!
Upon espying this beautiful work of Art, that was transported thousands of miles and a culture away, I was determined to make it work!
