“This is a cropped jacket with a hand-quilted yoke cut in one piece from a partially stained but beautifully embroidered vintage linen tea cloth. It has an easy-fitting versatile shape, with no closure, and two patch pockets on the front. It reminds me of blue skies, fluffy clouds, and a meadow of flowers - bring it with you wherever you go.” - Lisa

Materials

• Vintage embroidered linen donated by lovely Scottish friends (repurposed, natural)

• Remnant/offcut printed cotton (salvaged, natural)

• Batting (the soft insulating layer) is cotton (new, natural)

Techniques

• Hand-quilting - using a needle and thread to sew through multiple layers of fabric and batting (padding)

• Salvage - collecting, appraising, cleaning, repairing, and/or cutting damaged vintage textiles, to respectfully keep them in use.

• Designed, cut, and sewn in Dublin as a one-off piece.

Use & Care

Linen is a natural fibre, and as such, often has slight variations in surface texture or slubs. Washing is tough on clothing, so wash only when necessary. That being said, this jacket is machine washable! Please wash at 30°, on its own or with similar colours, and air dry. To protect the buttons, wash in a laundry net or bag. It can be ironed or steamed.
