Description

Susie made this silk dupioni jacket using a chenille technique. The jacket has several layers of silk dupioni. It's gorgeous on Susie!! See Jane about making a garment using this technique. Anne L writes "I sought out and began working with a teacher, Jane Foster, a gifted artist, seamstress, and clothing designer. I have learned a great deal from her. Lately, I have been working with vintage Japanese kimono fabric, repurposed into more contemporary designs. I buy my kimono fabric online, from collectors, in small pieces. My approach is to pair the vintage fabric with modern silk. I feel that this honors the artists who created the original kimonos and recycles their creations into something that can be worn and enjoyed today. The designs are my own, first sketched and then draped and fitted on a dress form."
