Folk Project

Lame topic, happy with the outcome.

Shirt project based on Eastern European folk costumes with a sketchbook, theme board, and full illustration with front and back flat drawings of the final shirt.

If only we could have chosen from any country, I would have loved somewhere like Mexico or Africa. Oh the color possibilities!!!!!


I thought about using Photoshop on some of the pictures, making my shirt brighter and funner, but then it wouldn't have been folk at all really. I wanted to keep it Folk and classic.

The shirt is patchwork of the fabric cut out and placed on the board, with flared loose sleeves and a snug tie at cleavage with purple bow and tassels. I paired it with a nice vest and big flared skirt with belt.

Take a look :
