Field Parka, prototype

While straightening some things out with the "Big Project" I unexpectedly had some time to work on a few fun projects.  Playtime's about to end, but I'm glad I got the chance to make this piece for my special lady friend.

I'll have to adjust few things if I put it into "production", but overall I'm pretty happy with the design.  And as luck would have it, it also fits me...

Will post some fit pictures tomorrow

Ingredients: 1950's USMC shelter half (a.k.a tent), vegetable ivory buttons.

      Thanks Nate, I'm pretty stoked about how this piece came out. Lookin' forward to making some blanket lined versions when I get the time.

    Oh, Russell! I adore this! I recognized it as your work on Katie as soon as she walked up to the group for this past Saturday's forest class. It's just wonderful!

    Hey Ashley, thanks so much, I do appreciate it. Have to say I'm pretty proud of it myself. See you in the woods!
