Monk's Habit

My second post for today...

Another client commissioned me to make his habit. This was a cool project to work on! I got to draft a pattern, source the fabric and sew the garment.

My client told me that his community wears dark blue. I checked out the local fabric stores and was able to purchase a navy poly-cotton knit at Atlantic Fabrics.

The garment itself went together quickly and easily. I did have to remove and redo the collar, but that was because I had purposely made it big (so as not to choke  a monk when he sat down), and then found out that it is a no-no to see the clothing that they wear under their habit.

Completed projects: 23

Remaining projects: 29

Chair Cushions

I've fallen behind on my project blogging. Sorry. I hope to catch up with two posts today. 

This first post will cover (pun intended) two projects that I did for a client. She had two large chair cushions that needed recovering. She brought me the cushions, the new fabric, two zippers and even the thread. The cushions belong to two, large, differently styled chairs. She unifies the look by keeping them covered in the same fabric. This is a lady who knows what she's doing!
