Personal Projects
Lately I’ve been obsessed with a bolero jacket pattern I found and trying to use it as a jumping off point to design my own patterns. This is the original design: And here is my first adaptation: I added sleeves because I have half-sleeve tattoos on both arms and I needed a cover for work…
