Many lovely & fun vintage cotton fabrics were pieced together to create/design this fun & funky jacket. I fringed the edges of the blocks after sewing the jacket together to give it an even funkier look. Many of the fabrics are from vintage clothing pieces so recycling can be fun! I am searching for just the right button for the front top. It, too, will need to be funky & fun. Enjoy this one-of-a-kind jacket that I call 'Rags to Riches'. All cotton, & washble and fun! This jacket is totally reversible which makes it even more fun! Enjoy 'Rags to Riches'!

Trendy or traditional ; pretty and petite are perfect adjectives for these gorgeous knitted , felted & needle felted bags. Until I have a bag in the works and complete it; I have never "FELT" this kind of passion for an art form which is not unique to this era but has been handed down though generations and has become more popular for bags, slippers,mittens, scarves and anything that can be knitted with the gorgeous wools on the market along with so many beautiful novelty yarns. I hope that you enjoy looking at my felted pieces as much as I enjoy the whole process from hand spun yarn to kettle dyeing to the final felting process it is a challenging and fulfilling artform. The process of needle felting adds decorative wool 'pictures' to my finished felted pieces & at times gives the piece a three dimentional look. It is a very rewarding process. I have used many mediums and this is one of my favorites because it is like 'PAINTING WITH YARN". My theme bags/totes are exciting to create but I have other artistic creations that I will enjoy sharing with you. Thank You for stopping by. Patricia Maxwell
