checkmate!


it all starts here! this is the coquis sketch for my "kasparov" padded vest. now lets journey through the process of actually making it in fabric...















big pile o' pieces right after cutting. matching the checks before cutting took a full day. *yeesh*












first step of binding the cotton padding pieces together. once this is done with the overlock machine, then these can be mounted onto the self checkered fabric










making sure those top-stitching lines are nice and straight












cut and mounted pattern pieces all laid out!

they decided not to use the vest in the september show. a shame for new yorkers, but not too shabby for me!
