paper crane jacket developments
this was my first version using the pattern on page 30 of pattern magic volume 2. using a crisp coated cotton fabric that holds the stiff form and shape to create a wonderful feature wardrobe piece.
this was my second version of what i now fondly refer to as my 'paper crane jacket' due to it's shape when sewn and lying flat. this is a stretch cotton/lycra fabric that gives supreme comfort and wearability.
my most recent version takes the neckline detail from the pattern and applies it to a shaped sleeveless top with back flap detail that i have designed. this uses a silken and drapey fabric to create a quietly elegant top.
next? perhaps a long sleeved version of the modified sleeveless top above.

very beautiful
