This morning I have been making a bolero jacket for Diane.
She chose the barkcloth herself, and sent it over to me to be transformed. It's a Robert Kaufmann design, in a 1950s style.
The ends of the sleeves are trimmed with a narrow black bias binding, and the lining is also plain black.
If I'd been making this for myself, I might have lined it in the deep red, or the mustard yellow, or even the olive green, and trimmed the sleeves with the same colour. Then I would have made a plain black dress to wear with it, with trim to match...
I don't know what outfit Diane has in mind, but I'd love to see some photos of it!
