Making this at the weekend once I've finished making my leapord print fur cape I'm working on. Love it. Fits in with my Final major project an absolute treat. I'm working on the concept of attachable and interchangable collars and neckpieces that you can attach on to a plain dress/top/cape/coat etc to finish off the outfit and make it more wearable and looking at the interface between fashion and jewellery/accessories. This would also create a much more portable wardrobe, meaning a much more stable and economic use to clothing. The idea behind this would be that a simple outfit could be accessorised in many ways, creating a capsule wardrobe. Makes me dead giddy this project!
Thank you to Theowlsarenotwhattheyseem for this pattern and tutorial. It's actually pretty easy, even if you don't have much sewing experience!
Materials you will need:
• pattern
• 1/4 yard of fabric (cotton or a lightweight woven)
• 1/4 yard of light-med fusible interfacing
• ribbon (1/4” grosgrain is good)
• iron
• scissors
• pencil
• paper
Good luck! Let me know how you get on with this!
This is such an amazing idea!
