Using basic shapes and minimal measurements, you will design and make a one-of-a-kind jacket. Once the design is finalized, you will join strips of lovely rayons to create a unique fabric for your base. Vary the fabric widths to add interest. You can even bring some pre-embroidered swatches to include. Choose to join with visible or hidden rolled edge or flatlock with decorative threads. With a simple folding technique, you can even add pockets. Best of all it is all done on the serger. Use your favorite pin as a closure or leave it open. The sample was made with SewBatik® rayons and Diane of SewBatik® is ready to help you put your fabrics together for a beautiful garment. Bring your own fabric; see supply list for details.
