constructed jacket

This was a eureka moment where i discovered that i could cut out curved indivisual pleats and construct a garment but some fashion forward thinking person has probably done it already ( since i didn't source the idea from anywhere i can proudly say this is an original idea by ME)

Am not impressed by the shape of the jacket but i heart the texture and and shape of the pleats, will use it one day to make a refined garment.

Very time consuming but progressive project, initial design was with sleeves but got bored with the constant cutting so left it as is.

work in p--r--o--g--r--e--s--s( will take a while to finish this

Once upon a fashion moment i had a red leather coat(sorry don't have pics) which i decided to deconstruct and make a bag, thanks to my boyfriend for making the circles (sounds like part of an oscar award winning speech) as if (yes i still use the 90's phrase)

anyways he made the circles and i used wool to join them (marking the holes induced stress), i used leather glue and studs to stick the leather onto the wood, cos the leather is very soft and bit worn out( had the coat since 2000 and though i hate red this was in a tint that i like and the fit was brill), i used material from an old window blind for support, dug up the material in my ex- landlord 's shed. He won't miss it (hopefully)

All i need to do is figure out what to use for the interior then line it, have tried knitted wool and i didn't like it, bought a burgundy further boa and it xfacctor wow me hence unfinished.

I'm wide open for any suggestions
