The inspiration for the piecing came from the wall paper at my grandmother's house, which started above the molding which was about waist high.
The jacket was created with cotton fabrics that were strip pieced, reassembled, and machine quilted. The pieced sections were adorned with ribbons and vintage metallic lace to hide the raw edges.
Bouquets of ribbon worked flowers and leaves were stitched in place, and were further adorned with silk ribbon embroidery. There are beads, buttons and charm embellishments amongst the flower sections. The garland on the hat was made by a friend.
The vintage jewelry ensemble that I wear with this outfit is Red Lilies. |
