Ashley Conchieri and the Show Stopper Coat

| 2 Comments | 0 TrackBacks
Hello all!

Today is both a happy and sad day.  Ashley has been one of my interns for the past year, and she is going to be leaving me shortly.  I would like to show off some of the wonderful fabric work she does for her own label: madeby Ashe.  She is a great seamstresss, weaver, fiber artist and a good friend.  I wish her the best of luck.  Here is some of the work that you can see on her website:

Ashley has helped me work on a number of different items, but this coat was our last item together. It's a real show stopper.

I think this jacket is going to be one of the ones that I have outside my booth.  I'm beginning to think about these details as I move from production mode to show mode.  Just today, I've purchased flame-retardant spray for my drapery and a soft-top cargo carrier for the top of my little Honda Accord.  Not as exciting as making felt, but equally important.

I hope that everyone is well, and I wish Ashley the best of luck in all her future endeavors.

Happy Felting!
