Black and beautiful. I started with a vintage rayon print with black and ecru line drawings of a man out fishing in a boat on the left lapel and right inner sleeve. Then I used black and ecru Houndstooth cotton/polyester blend on the left front, left sleeve, inside right and back.

Accented with cotton jersey knit black and ecru stripes on the right lapel, inside left sleeve and right cuff. Finally I used black cotton/polyester on the collar, right front and sleeve.

The jacket is then fastened with two large adorable covered buttons in the boat fabric I loved so much. Then, the entire collar, lapel and front features a hand-crocheted scalloped border in black and ecru. Completing it is a nylon/polyester taffeta lining inside.

All crochet work is done in long staple light worsted weight mercerized gassed cotton from my own personally hand-picked collection. The entire jacket is backed with interfacing.

Would you like to try it on? Give me your measurements and I will set my dress form to those measurements and send you a picture of this jacket on your measurements. It should give you a well informed idea of how it will fit and look.

Here’s an Eclectic array of various fibers of Cotton, Nylon, and Frayed Ribbon Yarns. It's very Festive and Unique and perfect for a frosty outing.

I’m starting another jacket like this one in blues and greens in Size M, and then another in blues and purples in Size L, unless you would like to request another size or color scheme. I may do Earthy tones or pastels after that.

Though, I use up a lot of left over yarn, these jackets are very time consuming due to the constant stopping, tying, and starting. They take about 30% more time.

All my work is done in a hypoallergenic, pet and smoke free environment to insure the highest standards of quality.

Also, expect feedback long before you receive my exclusive designs.

Each garment comes in a clear, resealable bag. And, to maintain the integrity of the fibers and colors, I also highly recommend the garment be dry cleaned.

My creations are unique one-of-kind designs so unfortunately I don’t do custom orders.

And once again, thanks for considering Annie Briggs Designs. Hip Threads with a distinctly feminine edge.

Thank you!

Here’s a Jacket that may even make you friends, or at least spark up new acquaintances and secret admirers. This piece is longer and nicely cups and flatters the Derrière.

This piece starts off with a 40s Retro Fabric by Alexander Henry portraying women of the times. It is offset with a wine colored brocade Fabric and an Exotic Plaid in coordinating colors and subtle metallic weaves.

The Jacket is embellished with my Signature Brooch made up of a Hand Crocheted Flower, a Yo-yo, and a Berry Colored Textured Button Centerpiece over a Velcro Close.

The entire Jacket is backed with interfacing for stabilization and it is cinched in the back with elastic for a better fit. The inside is lined in Polyester.

Please refer to my size chart to find your size.

Would you like to try it on? Give me your measurements and I will set my dress form to those measurements and send you a picture of this jacket on your measurements. It should give you a well informed idea of how it will fit and look. Sometimes it's just a matter of moving the closure over an inch or so and I would be happy to do that for you and show you what it would look like.

As always with my designs, nothing is spared to produce these fine pieces of textile art and I’m proud to offer it to someone with an appreciation for my eclectic designs, fine hand-crafted quality, and unconventional style.

All my work is done in a hypoallergenic, pet and smoke free environment to insure the highest standards of quality. All crochet work is done in long staple light worsted weight mercerized gassed cotton from my own personally hand-picked collection.

Each garment comes in a clear, re-sealable bag. And, to maintain the integrity of the fibers and colors, I also highly recommend the garment be dry cleaned.
