Rayon Jacket
I don't do much garment sewing anymore. I never felt like I was really good at it, and haven't much lately. In the first box of fabrics from Island Batik for the Ambassadors this year there was a 2 yard piece of lovely Forest Fern Rayon fabric. Rayon is lightweight and not as stable as cotton- it tends to shift around when you are working with it. Last year I made a top from Rayon, but I wasn't excited about working with this piece, so I gave it to a friend - Elaine Mast who is great at garment sewing. I also thought the color suited her. (see the bundle of fabric- the red is a lovely rayon scarf).

It looks great. She did an amazing job and earned a blue ribbon from the Fair. Thanks Elaine!
