Made by Barbara Crawford of Crawford Designs - Believe it or not this is the Bias Jacket made out of wool. Barbara did an applique design with needle felting. All the seams were put together with felting, no thread was used in this jacket. Barbara's felting designs and techniques are for sale in books and patterns at www.crawforddesigns.net and local stores.
Here is another Bias Jacket made in wool. Barbara Crawford played with wool roving and needle felted this very interesting floral design. Barbara's felting designs are on her website www.crawforddesigns.com

Made by Patty Dunn. The jacket below is made from a lace type fabric. The seams were put together flat (wrong side to right side) and stitched together. The selvage of the fabric was reapplied to the edge to finish. A tie was pulled through the weave to make a slight pleated for an added detail to the sleeve.

This jacket is made from a polyester crepe. A stencil was used to apply the leaves with Lumiere paint by Jacquard. A small line of glitter (Art Glitter- color 236 Clementine) runs down the veins. The center bottom of the sleeve is gathered up with an antique button to accent the detail.

Do you believe I made this Bias Jacket on the felter machine. There was no thread used. All the seams were put together by felting. A curly black yarn was felted in a looping design on the fleece jacket.

Kay McMahon made the 2 jackets below. Both were cut on the straight instead of the bias and one has a ruffle the other a straight more tttttailored band on the edge. Same pattern 2 completely different looks.

Jean Gribi made the Bias Jacket ( below) out of a loosely woven acrylic fabric. She serged the edges of the fabric and pre-washed it which softened it substantially.
This is important information when using loose weave fabric:
After cutting the pattern pieces, she immediately stabilized them by fusing a bias staytape ¾” from all non-seam edges (front, bottom, neck and sleeve bottom). For the seam edges, she serged them with a 4 thread overlock. Since the fabric was thick, she sewed the raglan seams, sleeve and side seams on a regular sewing machine and then pressed the seams open. She then staystitched on the edge of the staytape to ensure that the fabric would not ravel after the edges were fringed. The edging at the bottom of the sleeves are three rows of rattail sewn down with a triple zigzag stitch. Jean experimented with the rattail on the body, but decided it interfered with the drape of the jacket.
Jean made two pattern changes. For additional center front length, she added 3” and tapered it to the side seam. To remove the “fold back” at the center front, she removed 2 ½” from the center front bottom and tapered it to the neck. The jacket lays beautifully and is flattering on all body types. Jean says it is more comfortable then a sweater and really enjoys wearing it.

Below Jean made another jacket from a similar weave fabric.
The jacket below Jean made from another loose weave acrylic. 3 cords have been couched around the outside edge which stabilize the edge and add a decorative detail. There is a touch of gold in the fusible metals that have been added every few inches on top of the cording.
The raw edges are frayed.

Carolyn Pence made this bias jacket out of polyester crepe. She has a beautiful serged roll hem on the front bottom and sleeve edge. She used spray starch to sstabilize the fabric so it would not shift while she serged.

CONGRATULATIONS! TONI KATZ - from Bartlett TN
1st PLACE WINNER ~ JACKET CHALLENGE - 2007 - Jacket #10
This jacket is a made from a polyester sheer print. The jacket was constructed on the
serger and a ruffler was used to gather the bias ruffle which has been applied down the front, around the bottom and on the sleeves. This is the most foo foo jacket I have ever made and I love it!
The jacket below was made by Kay Bryant from Corpus Christi.
Kay made the bias jacket reversible. One side is the blue print you see and the other is solid red. She can turn up the cuffs when wearing either side and also fold back the front to show the other color or wear the blue side as you see it, which she trimmed in red.

The jacket below started out as white silk broadcloth. The color was applied
by using 2 colors of ink and shaving cream. The rayon trim down the front was also white and
the blue was applied with the same method. A Sizzix die cut machine was used to make the
organza flowers and other shapes. Fusible web was applied the fabric first and then cut on the die cut machine. Foiling was added to the front trim and on the outside of wings. Glitter was used in places to add some bling and on the bias edge the color was applied by RUBBING the color over a textured stamp pad. Made by Patty
Dunn ~This jacket will be part of the up coming 2007 Patty Dunn Sewing Special to air in August.

The ART WORK of TRISH STUART (below)
Trish started with a silk broadcloth (available soon on this website) it was stone washed in a special solution and has a wonderful drape for the bias jacket. Trish sprayed 3 colors of ink (with a spray bottle) for a base color, including gold for an iridescent look. She inked designs using other colors onto the jacket by stamping, stenciling and free hand drawing and added free motion bobbin work around the designs. Trish added a beautiful trim at the neck and inked bias strips of velvet (using a blend the colors in the art work) for the edge finish (turned up bias) on the front and the bottom. She also added foiling and glitter for a show stopping garment. This jacket was our class model at Road To California 2007.
