Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Romantic, Hipster, Mod


Materials

cotton fabrics

What was your inspiration?

Once the head gets going in a certain area of design, one design just keeps leading to another variation. That's what happened when I was designing a series of patchwork clothing items.

What are you most proud of?

Getting the patchwork to conform to the curves of the body and come out looking right. I'm also very fond of this color scheme.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

To get a fitted bodice to look right, it is advisable to try it out in muslin first.

For my taste I find that a lot of quilted clothing is heavy and boxy, your garments are anything bu heavy or boxy. Very beautiful work, impressive! Lovely colour palette and a pleasing overall design, very well done.

Thanks. If I were about 50 years younger, I wouldn't mind wearing it myself. It is in my favorite colors. I wish I'd been able to see it on the gal who bought it.
