Go Anywhere Jacket: CLASS FULL

Saturday and Sunday, 25-26 February 2012 with Lynn Hewitt
9.30am for 10-3pm, Epping Creative Centre

This reversible jacket is based on the oldest known garment, the ‘Bog Coat’. The original was unearthed in a bog in Denmark in 1000BC. It has appeared in many countries over the centuries and is still a versatile garment. Make your jacket in colours and fabrics to enhance your wardrobe today. The jacket packs flat for travelling and provides those extra layers when the  weather is cooler.

Day1: Create the fabric for the jacket using quick piecing techniques.
Day2: Assemble the jacket and perhaps wear it home.
