Weaving 1 Final Project: Cropped Woven Jacket

Name: Allison Kelsey
Class: DS 229, Weaving 1, Marianne Fairbanks
Major: Textile Design

This piece is connected to design because it was patterned and hand-woven on the loom. The fabric was woven into an undulating twill pattern using yellow and grey yarn. I then removed the piece from the loom and patterned it into a modern-style cropped jacket. To finish off the piece, I created a fringe on the bottom of the jacket to give it a bohemian feel. I then took the jacket and dip-dyed the bottom portion in a gold dye bath to create an ómbre effect rising from the ends of the fringe.
