My future son-in-law, Chris Blount, got a propane grill as an early birthday present. He plans to take it one the road as he and Mari Jo travel the country in his 18 wheeler. I couldn’t let him cook in public without being properly attired, so I made this apron, welder’s cap, and mitt for him. Never know when then sparks might fly.

At some point, I ran out of ties, so made this jacket out of strips of green and blue fabrics with a wide variety of patchwork techniques. I just let my imagination run wild and created what I consider a masterpiece! I love the effect of the little pieces of fabric on the back. This item is not for sale, but is shown in the hope of sparking your imagination. Contact me if you are interested.

This lined jacket is made of men’s ties supplemented with tie-like fabrics. I love the embroidered design on the bottom of the rear! This item is not for sale, but is shown as a possible inspiration for you.

This jacket is pieced in red, yellow, navy, and dark brown. It is completely lined. The patchwork is a pattern created by the Seminole Indians in Florida. This item is not for sale, but I would be happy to create a similar one for you.

This lined jacket has an outer layer made entirely of old men’s ties ( I assume both the ties and the men are old). This jacket is precious to me, since most of the ties came from Daddy. I would be happy to make one similar for you.

This vintage lined jacket is accented with buttons stitched around the neckline, down the front , and around the bottom and sleeves. I have a treasure of buttons dating back to the 1940’s which could be used to create a jacket especially for you, The jacket modeled here by my daughter, Mari Jo, has shoulder pads, but current styles would probably eliminate them. This item is not for sale, but is included to inspire you.
