Felt,Stitch and Embellish fibres

Competition winners jacket The Tulip.

Fabienne models her winning jacket and her beautiful choice of colours suit her as well So glad you like the outcome Fabienne.

When I started the design for this I had no idea the name La Tulipe had any meaning for Fabienne but it does ,but that is not my story to tell.


So from a set of colours and measurements the jacket was created ,the colours first,the style second ,and then the screen printing.I am so pleased  at the success of this piece from the competition.The next one will commence in August and the colours must be seascapes this year.

    The jacket turned out great! Of course Fabienne and her glowing smile doesn’t say that already. Great job , Chrissie.

    love your entry on it, Chrissie, and the jacket of course. La Tulipe … my nickname from my french speaking friends when I left for the Netherlands, meaning the tulp, of course. Follow the flowers, who know where they might lead you! Thank you again for your wonderful competition and work!
