Dorothy Quilted Jacket in 70s Diamonds
Couldn't load pickup availability
This one-of-a-king gem is made from the most delicious 70s quilt.
Made by Dorothy Carveth in the 1970s, I turned this quilt into a cropped jacket with a dropped shoulder and a shawl collar. Keep the collar flat for the cream, or turn it up of a pop of the quilted pattern. It's reversible, so you can wear it inside out as just a cream jacket with sage green pipping.

Naturally dyed with plants
All my socks and scrunchies are naturally dyed - which is a 4 day process. Each natural fibre needs to be scoured on day one, and then treated with a mordant the next day. Then its plant dyeing time, which usualy takes a couple more days!
Each dye bath can be used a number of times, giving lighter and lighter shades until it is exhausted. Then the spent plants end up in my compost. Plant dyeing saves water and says a big no thank you to synthetic nasties that pollute waterways.
