Scrap Happy December 2022

in November I had just started Ann Wood’s tree ornaments

well, here they are with a gift tree from the Hittys hanging in the middle

I have been working on another ikat jacket – every day for a month

and I am so happy it is finally finished

with the exception of the back panel all the pieces were long but only 4 or 5 inches (11.25 – 13 cm.) wide

and the fabric raveled faster than I could sew

the seams all had to be finished and then top stitched

the black is two different fabrics – one is the leg of an old pair of wool pants

out in the late afternoon sun

the back needed an extra piece on the bottom for length

it is lined with a beautiful light weight wool fabric given to me several years ago

it had some severe moth damage and it was a challenge working around the holes

it is not a colour I would usually wear but it goes well with the ikat

and finally – a patch-y inside pocket for a hankie

 I have never, in 12 years, written 2 posts in one day but Scrap Happy is here  – there is a first time for everything

 to all happy scrappers, Season Greetings to you and your families and a happy, healthy new year to come
