My first sewing project from the amazing book
Wearing A Square is pure origami.
Crazy looking to start with, I put a very long zipper in the
front and elongated the sleeves.
Fabric is a lined rayon. Odd shape. Odd fabric. If it were not for the four underarm gussets the jacket would be one piece of fabric.
Next to sew is Wearing A Triangle which makes this look tame. Stay tuned!
Also, my Giveaway is still running- be in it to win it.

You make the craziest things look not only smashing, but perfectly reasonable! Well done (once again :) )
Completely nuts.
And definitely not square.
This is quite cool~~but boy did I grin at the photo of you with the zipper covering your head! Does your partner take these pics? Does she laugh at your antics? Can't wait for the triangle~~
Well Done! I Like It!! I Neeeeeeed to find this book!
And on a windy day you could add string and make it a kite!
I'm liking the transformation from square to garment .... and admiring the rusty backdrop.
Awesome!!! I too look forward to the triangle. I think this might also persuade my son that the sewing machine is not just for girls!!
I love the photos. I find myself imagining that you are looking down at the jacket in a kind of shock.
It is a great shape. Can you lift your arms? I love extra long sleeves.
Your "masons on acid" necklace is genius.
l'homme volant!
it really is "pattern magic"!
a great idea, I love it!!!
and presentation is...perfect!
congratulation!!!!
i like the wearing it over the head look!
i hope no offense it taken to say that i just laughed when i saw this. i laughed because its so fantastic and extreme. i love that it covers the head if you get caught in a storm. love the crinkly fabric.
you are on it
I like it a lot! I love the super long zipper and when it is unzipped a bit, it is sort of like a hood without the extra fabric.
I really LOVE this!

L'origami n'est pas si facile que ça !
Love the fabric you've chosen for this one.
It looks great and I like the photos too.
that's how you wear a square, but what don't you look good in? It's just not fair, I'm 20 and smashing and i would look like a bag of potatoes in that! kudos.
