I have been researching into sustainable fashion for my final major project and decided I wanted to create my own handmade piece of clothing. Usually I work mainly with silks, however I have made the jacket using calico as this is my first garment I have ever made on this scale, so I felt I should try with a more structured fabric to begin with. I plan to sew my silk dyed fabrics on top of the calico in a patchwork design.
