COATS TO COAST! OR "WHAT'S A NICE COAT LIKE YOU DOING IN A HOT STATE LIKE THIS?"

Who's this chick kidding! Cold in Fla my tuckus! Check it lady, you're still in a freakin' BIKINI !!

Hi, my name is Sabrina and you might be wondering what is a native Floridian doing obsessed with making fun winter coats? I sometimes wonder the same. I can only try to explain it as a desire to expand my creative bent into geographically wider horizons. Let's face it, if I stuck to making only apparel that I could wear in the hot, steamy, winter-lasts-a-week-if-I-am-lucky-or-if-at-all environs of Florida I would be doomed to hem Daisy Duke cutoffs, and stitch Lily Pulitzer printed culottes and moo moos for the rest of my days.

Here are a couple shots of some coats I have worked on recently.

I love working with upholstery fabrics because of their weight, their durability and the fun geographic prints that they offer.

 

I love to pair a bright unexpected lining with a Miro like pattern and thanks to a recent fitting with fellow Domestic Artistry artist, Christine I will soon be playing with under collar contrasts.
