Morticia Adams was THE coolest chick on the block in my book! She always wore black, her hair was perfect and she always new what to say!
The jacket is from my "Crazy Man" pattern, where the pattern pieces are cut into smaller sections. Each section is pieced, or woven with fabrics, ribbons and trims. The fabric sections are machine quilted, the woven and pieces sections are machine stitched. The fabrics used are silk, cotton, vintage Chinese woven sections, satin and metallic ribbons. Hand embroidered cobwebs and cording are enhanced with glass beads and trinkets; metal charms; and glass and metal buttons.
The jewelry ensemble that I wear with this garment is the Algonquin Room. |
