Butterfly Jacket Class with the Weaving Guild

I spent three delightful days last week with the Weaving Guild in Rochester. The first day was a fashion show for the guild, followed by a two day Butterfly jacket class. Almost everyone opted to add some Seminole Patchwork to their jacket.

The Weaving Guild is much more than just weavers. They teach classes on several of the fiber arts at their new location at the Piano Mall in East Rochester. Here a gorgeous jacket begins to take shape from silk and parts of a skirt from Indochina.

A hand embroidered square is going to be part of two vest fronts.

The silk jacket progresses.

Two jacket fronts are finished.

This one uses a mola in the back for its main focus.

A gorgeous hand dye is the focal point for the front of this jacket.

The silk jacket at the end of the day.


And finished a few days later. The back.
