Threads magazine reader’s closet
Posted on 10. May, 2010 by Gail Yellen in Blog
Just wanted to let you know that I posted pics of my latest Counterpoints Jacket using Template Set 2 and pieces from 5 different sweatshirts in Threads online reader’s closet. It’s impossible to get wool sweaters to felt in the warmer states and sweatshirts work great. And since it’s already May, it’s getting too warm for felted wool (although it’s been extremely windy and unseasonably cool in CT for the past 3 days.) The felting process is eliminated and there’s no need for interfacing or lining, so the construction is very quick. Also did some beading to highlight design details. The color combo reminds me of coffee with cream and sugar. Finished the beading while watching “It’s Complicated.” Very entertaining. I love Meryl Streep. Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin were also excellent. Next up: The Stockbridge Skirt with “It’s All About Embellishment” techniques.
