The Vignelli Coat

I was asked if this coat was up for grabs, and I was convinced it had found the perfect admirer. Part of the Vignelli show, it was a fun piece to make, and knowing I can make it again, I was all right with leaving it for an admirer. May she have as much fun with it as I had making it. Now, I've got to make another.
 

Gather the Coat

Friends took care to grab my pieces that came off exhibit while I was gone. Thanks to Maddy Shoenfeld, the RIT Shop One manager, and organizer of the Beyond Fashion show, for holding on to my coat.  Before it was whisked away, she took a turn trying it on. We loved the pocket, and yes, there needs to be two.
 

Bindings for Something Else

[yes, a day late -- oops, forgot to hit "publish"] Binding detail on a little vest made with the quilted fabric shows that you can indeed use those hard leaned techniques for other than quilts. I've even resurrected a bound buttonhole as well. In a casual style, for the Beyond Fashion show this December 8 at RIT.
