What I'm working on...
DD loves La Roux's style so she asked me if I could make her the Mondrian inspired jacket she wears in the music video "Bulletproof". She wants to wear it for Halloween so I could easily have made a simple version but I really like the jacket and Mondrian, the artist, so I'm making a fitted version she can enjoy past the one day holiday :-)
I'm using BurdaStyle 11-2009-119, and it's been pretty painless so far. Roberta Carr has excellent instructions on binding and I'll post on that later. It's all cotton except for the yellow pocket, which is a stretch vinyl.
I feel old, I had to go and google this to have any idea what you were talking about! That aside, the jacket is looking good, I really like the style too.
ReplyDeleteGreat project! I had not seen the video, so I just watched it. Good idea to make it something that is wearable beyond Haloween.
ReplyDeleteThat will be so cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm with AllisonC - didn't have a clue about this band until I searched the web. Jacket looks outstanding, which is normal for your projects!
ReplyDeleteOMG - I love this look - it's just so creative and so well done...did you ever take any classes from Roberta?...I heard she smoked like a chimney.
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm a big fan of Roberta too. She is missed.
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly not costume-y. I think it will make a great jacket. Love the collar.
Awesome! This jacket looks like style "Mondrian". Saint Laurent created this style in 1965. Is this the same?
ReplyDeleteYour jacket is looking so retrofabulous! I love it.
