I taught the second session for the cocoon jackets today. Unfortunately, we had two students that were unable to attend. But Vicki and Diana made two beautiful jackets. Here’s Diana starting on her layout.
Here are Vicki and Paula perfecting their rolling technique. We did LOTS of rolling.
Diana is getting her piece warmed up in hot water in preparation for fulling.
And here she is doing some gently throwing. After lots of work, both of these lovely ladies ended up with absolutely gorgeous jackets. We pinned the shoulder seams together so we could get the fit right.
And here’s Vicki in her jacket. She added fringe to the ends so the fringe ended up along the shoulder seams and was a great addition.
Here’s Diana in her jacket. She is wearing it with the silk side out. These are reversible jackets so they can be worn with the wool side or silk side on the outside.
It was a really fun class and we all learned something. Especially about fitting the jackets. Thanks Diana and Vicki for being great students, I had a blast!
Oh they look really great Ruth, the girls obviously had a fun day and i be they love their jackets, very cool 🙂
These jackets turned out so well. I imagine they would be quite light and comfortable to wear.
