Two Day Butterfly Jacket Class at the Bobbin Case- Rochester

We just completed a two day Butterfly Jacket Class at the Bobbin Case in Rochester. It is a wonderful Wearable Art canvas and Diane chose an oriental theme.
Anne worked on black and white with a touch of red.
Maggie's choice was beautiful birds, a theme she carried over to the front.
Anne's front takes shape. By the end of the second day everyone was almost ready to put their jackets together with a plan for completion.

Scrappy Jacket Class - Day Two

This was day two of a Scrappy Jacket Class at the Bobbin Case in Rochester. The task during the break was to use 4" to 5" squares and make "fabric" on a foundation cut on the jacket pattern. This is my sample jacket made from squares sent a few years ago from Hancock Fabrics in Paducah. It is embellished with a great deal of machine stitching using variegated thread, fabric sample squares from the early 80's and antique pearl buttons.
The three students created a wide range of "fabric". Some of embellished with appliques.

Sharon had her jacket "together" by the end of the day. She plans to add some beads and more embellishment.

Varda made a jacket made of many different orange fabrics and will trim down the amount of lime on the sleeve bands and add a purple band with a trace of lime to the front.
