Steampunk Mona Lisa coat— big reveal! 🧵✨
It started with seven panels from eQuilterfabrics and my trusty Star 60 tool from Studio180design . I extended the jacket template into a coat to use the full front panel — find the template here. I turned triangles into star motifs with a central hexi + triangles, then pieced everything with the Studio 180 Capped 60 technique. I used vintage jewelry box closures from the woodworking aisle instead of buttons, and Minky rather than batting/backing. Sooo happy with how she turned out — dare to deviate and make something fun! Happy stitching! ✂️🪡
