Creative New Year!!!

Here are pictures of two of the jackets that were ordered at the fall shows. The white one is a lined fleece coat with appliqued vines and roses,the closure is incorporated into the design.

The black and yellow piece jacket is a mixture of new and recycled wool and I have used a new technique for the pieced sleeves.

I have been working on some new designs for 2009 and finishing up the orders from my fall shows. I have no shows scheduled until March so it is time to work and play in the studio. I just ordered some really cool new fabrics from Vogue in Chicago and Fabric Mart in PA. and will probably make a trip to New York in the spring to look for more wonderful fabrics and buttons.

Here is a picture of a winter coat with handknitted sleeves made from a double sided wool. This was an order from one of the fall shows .
