Crazy patch jacket

This is a crazy patch jacket made of all silk fabrics recycled from clothes.  The squares are 8″ squares backed with muslin and then decorated.  The jacket is embellished with stitches on a Designer Diamond machine, embroidery designs from many sources, including stand alone lace, lace, ribbon, decorative braid, and beads.  The pattern is a modification of an old Vogue pattern.  I designed the front fans myself.  The center of the back is from an old dresser scarf.

    Absolutely stellar effect. I adore the color combinations and textural variety. The colors and cut of this would enhance any outfit and all skin tones. Great job.

    How fun! What a delightful blend of quilting and garment sewing skills. And "green", to boot!

    Bright Blessings! Kharmin

    I not only love your jacket, I have fallen in love with your sewing machine logo/design.
    I would like to reproduce it in embroidery and frame it for my sewing room.
    I do not intend to uese it commercially.
    Did you design it yourself. It is really outstanding.

    You are a most delightfully creative lady.

    Thanks for the comments on my jacket. This was a labor of love for my oldest son's wedding.
    I have had this logo a long time and use it on business cards. My son found it in clip art. It is not my copyright. I was amazed to see it already digitized at Embroidery Library.

    Just saw your jacket for the first time tonight- you did a wonderful job on it, and it is one that many would ask to buy right off your back, I am sure of that!! Not to mention it would be very expensive if found in a store... you are very talented!
