Jacket completed

Worked with Gail  Walker on the last weekend in August on my Angelheart Flax jacket project. It was a piece of stamped linen a  orange brown large leaf, maroon small Japanese buds and a platinum rat. I then added prints-Asian and a crane print too and did embroidery free-style on the sewing machine- the leaf was a metal stamp discarded from a paleontology museum for the outline and free stitching inside.
I learned to use the serger to finish edges and that was quite fun!!


The last photo depicts the serged piece that wass added to the front two pockets and the similar material was added to the collar as well. It came out wonderful and I have worn it out to dinner and to work.
So a jacket given to me by a friend that I had just keeping at the YWCA pool for when I was cold is now a featured art piece in my wardrobe.
