Jacket No. 4

A pink jacket this time Some ideas:    Add caption  The fabric was op shop found for $5.  Plant based, heavy and drapey  with alternating chevron and plain weaves.  Dyed a darker pink  And fusible interfaced. Heaps of fabric with some to spare for self trim. Silk lining also cut slightly larger in case of shrinkage due to quilting. Silk basted to fabric to stabilise before quilting  Pelon fused to batting in prep for shoulder pads. The shoulder pad template  and herringbone stitched into position   Slipstitching lining seams Prepare trim - made by strips cut on grain then gather Zip in Atach lining to neck, center front and hem Finishing touch - gold chain inside hem  Finished😊
