Living Well - Londa's Jacket

  Purse made after jacket was made from Living Well pattern from Londa's Creative Threads.

Finished view duplicating the asymmetrical closure of the jacket.
  The front piece was bound on two edges and the left side had the ruffle trim. This piece was glued to the cover before the dupionni silk was added across the bottom covering up the title and a contrast color band.
 This piece was clipped in place to dry. 
 Handwoven fabric was used for the wedges.  Since they were a single layer, they were bound with a bias strip of the dupionni.  A line of stitching was sewn along the SA, then pressed to inside.
 Inside view before wedges were added.
 Adding pocket with zipper to lining.
 After stitching along SA, pressed to inside and mitered corners. 
 
Black interfacing used to reinforce area where pony tail tie will be sewn. 
 
 Beige pony tail tie pinned in place before top of pocket sewn to lining. 
 Wedge clipped in place while left to dry.
 Piece of foam core board was covered and glued in place at the last. 
 Finished purse and the handle was made from ribbing from the sweatshirt and the tube stuffed with cotton cording.
