A Close Up of the Stitching Detail


        The Ice Dye Reversible Jacket was challenging but provided lots of learning.  The two silks wanted to fight each other so fitting them together produced a few fitting challenges.  I do love the feel of this jacket and enjoy wearing it.  Any  questions about ice dye or making your creation reversible, contact me......nomadsally
     If you are interested, the basic pattern comes from Vogue 8398.  But, of course there are many many revisions and changes.  Have fun sewing or thinking about it....!
