The shirt was made from 1 1/2" strips of linen pearled together and aligned diagonally.
Denim jeans ripped into strips and knit into loose-fitting vest.
Threads were collected and saved for future textile manipulation.
Olive TENCEL twill duster - lightweight with a natural drape combined with industrial details such as cargo pockets and hardware.
Found objects and metals directly knit into the sleeve itself.
Determining fabric combinations.
1st test fit for tops. Decided to make sleeves longer, and patch up holes.
Side view pre-snaps on sleeve cap.
