This is a beautiful piece of Tai Silk that I found at the
Houston Quilt Show. The color gradations are amazing in real
life. The pattern is called The Mandarin Jacket by Favorite
Things Pattern Designs. I lined the jacket with organdy to
keep it from being stiff. I used the same organdy to bind the
edges. Of course, as usually happens, I had to get creative with the
sleeves since I did not have enough fabric to cut a full sleeve. I
cut it in two pieces and used a decorative stitch to hide the seam. The
buttons are glass and pick up every shade in the silk. I also
purchased them at the Houston show. Now I just have to find
something "perfect" to wear with the jacket. |
