This patchwork jacket is made of scraps of silk that I have saved. I serged the pieces together then designed the jacket from there. It has dolman sleeves and hangs to the hips. I sewed (crystal like) beads arount the band and sleeves which adds just a little weight to the light silky fabric. The jacket is also lined with china silk lining.
