Fall is in the air as I work with Off White & Silver- I love this combination and am using it as a theme for this vest. The relationship of rustic and refined, side by side always intrigues my design aesthetic. Using a variety of neutral textures and tints and tones, I started this piece by combining and creating shapes, mostly linen, that might come together like puzzle pieces to become a vest.
Creating a grid: Serged strips were rubbed with some silver Jacquard fabric paint then woven together into rectangular and square shapes. The grids were sewn in one direction, down each strip to hold its shape. As shown, additional elements can be threaded through the grid for more texture and variation. Paint was applies to 'age' some of the pieces and integrate them.
Making pieces to drape: As the fabrics were lined and pieced, the grids were left open as windows through the garment. I like to pause in the middle of making and spend time seeing the piece on the dressform for a while…. more choice often come in that process.

Often the back is where I would start…letting it inform how I might approach the front.

Fall is still just a whisper, a feather floating by reminding us the days are getting shorter and we’ll soon sleep with more covers. Drawing, hiking, weaving, baking, dancing, painting, writing…… What makes you happy as you move towards fall? Diane |

I want everyone on the internet to hear this good news: Priest Alaska and his magic temple helped me win the $328.5 million Powerball jackpot.
I am grateful to say that my life has changed drastically. This success marks one of the biggest turning points in my life. Just a few months ago, things were very difficult and I had lost almost everything; life was so overwhelming that even putting food on the table had become a struggle. One day, while searching for hope and guidance, I came across Priest Alaska’s website and saw testimonials about how he helps people win the Powerball jackpot using his gift of spell casting. I contacted him and explained my entire situation; he reassured me and told me what to do. I followed his instructions, and he gave me the winning numbers. When the draw took place, I won the $328.5 million Powerball jackpot. I am grateful to Priest Alaska for this financial breakthrough, which has fundamentally transformed my situation.

Nothing is impossible if you truly believe you can achieve it. I have been trying to expand my wine business in my hometown, White Plains. For the past eight years, I had played the lottery in my spare time, but on one blessed day, I came across an article about Priest Alaska’s lottery-winning spell. I contacted Priest Alaska to see if it would work, and after agreeing to his terms and conditions for the work, he used his magical powers on my behalf; he provided the numbers I needed to play, and I followed his instructions. At the store, I discovered that I had won a $123 million jackpot. For a moment I felt uncertain, but I looked again and saw that it was real. My life has taken an extraordinary turn going from nothing to prosperity and I have come to realize that life has a spiritual dimension; with Priest Alaska’s spell, winning the lottery is truly possible. Priest Alaska’s contact details are as follows: email alaskaspellcaster44@gmail.com or his website https://dralaskaspellcaster.mystrikingly.com.e
