This Fault Lines Jacket is made from a recycled piece from the Golden Triangle (Burma, Laos and Thailand), by the Hmong people. Embroidery, handwovens, indigo and applique are some of the techniques used in the original pieces. The piece I used was a panel from a womans skirt. I loved the heart of the piece...including the repaired areas, sometimes appliqued with western scraps. I have used the new Mega Snaps in the antique brass finish as closures. The Hmong fabric is from: Bohemian Element. You will want to e-mail and ask about the Hmong lengths since they are all a bit different. I used one that was 14-inch wide by 8ft-10ft long for my jacket.
Fault Lines is perfect for small amounts since the Jacket is short with the Undershirt finishing the design. The Undershirt is a suiting blend with a small pinstripe. I love the combination with the bolder stripes in the Hmong Cloth. It is beautiful with a Taos Skirt or pant on the bottom.
