Have you gotten your latest issue of Sew News yet? If so, be sure to check out my latest article, “For the Frill of It”! Learn how to work with textured fabrics: fur, rosettes, lace, sequins, and more! Then apply those skills into creating a stylish jacket!

For the samples, I used a fun, ‘fringe’ material (I used the opposite ‘grain’ of the fabric to create a different effect than what was intended) and feminine a mesh rosette (I’ve seen this in several stores this season in a variety of spring colors). I love how dramatically different the jacket looks with just a change in material! Which one is your favorite?
