From Sofa Throw to Jacket

I'm the kind of person who can look at a piece of virgin fabric and visualize it already made into an article of clothing.


For instance . . . when my eyes fell upon this awesome, 100% Woven Indian Cotton Throw at 

Stedman's in Haliburton for $7.00 each, that looked like THIS to everyone else .thats 

Q.
I saw . . . THIS:

Can you imagine how much time and thought it took to get this jacket to look like this ... Working ⁷

with only a of 1fabric, measure 4 times, cut ONCE - no margin for error ... can't afford to screw up ... at all!

Now you're probably wondering what happened to those beautiful diamonds at the top of the fabric? The sleeves were a perfect place to display those.

This picture was taken with the sun shining on the garment, using a flash on the camera.

It just dawned on me that the pictures I posted here are pictures of the jacket before I even had the edges sewn together or the lining in it. I will post the finished product when I find the disc I've stored those pictures on.This is only one of the Throws I made into Jackets. I'll post the rest another time.

It's late and I have a busy day tomorrow.

Be Well, my fellow Artists!
