In July 2006 I made this sample for a local quilt shop. It is one where you cut a sweatshirt along the seams and use the pieces as the base for the jacket. The fabric is wet and then twisted and left to dry creating a crinkly fabric that has iron on interfacing added when it is dry. Pieces are cut to the shape of the sweatshirt parts. Stitching is then done through all of the layers with many different kinds of threads, some of them couched on last.
The sample was displayed by the store for a year and then returned to me. It fit a friend of mine much better than it fit me so she now owns it. I made a purse to go with it for her.
She said people followed her around to get near the jacket at an event she wore it to.
