Special Order Batik Jacket

I love the input from the customers. A customer did not want the "Tilework" jacket in the peach color shown on the website, www.handmadebymargo.com. She did have enough creativity to vision the jacket in a different color. Her color choice was purple. Even though purple isn't my color, I gravitate to the browns and earth tones, this jacket turned out great. Thank you to creative customers that help me step outside the box.

The back of the jacket looks as good as the front. Both sides have been embelished with decorative threads and accent appliques.

Batik Mining Wonder Quilted Jacket

When I was a kid, I collected rocks. Every vacation included a stop to a rock shop. This batik reminded me of a rock I purchased with my allowance during a family vacation out west. The ore had small blotches of a blue ore. Not sure of the name of this ore anymore, but I do remember the wonder of how such a rock was formed. Just like the beautiful batiks found in the quilt shops, this fabric reminded me of that special rock I treasured for so many years.

This new jacket is also available as a pattern and an e-pattern. Hope you enjoy my contemporary side.
