The bolt of window screening at a local church sale archeological dig triggered my  !fabric!  antennae and I wondered how it would translate into a garment.

As a screen on a door or  window I had no idea of the  flexibility or liveliness of it as material.  It can be folded and shaped but it has a mind of its own. 

The napkin sketch and subsequent drawing on paper with intended measurements – dictated by the width of the material  -  were suggestions.  The actual cutting and design were fabric-speak.  

The edges were not sharp, as I expected.  I think this is nylon or fibre glass.  Will have to google.

It is a vest at the moment and may remain as such;  adding sleeves is an option.

I like the integrity of the stable edges.

I like how the two pieces,  one lengthwise,  one widthwise, in the placing rectangularly assumed angled positions.  Both at the shoulders and the back seam.

I like how the overlaps of seams remained overlaps and avoided bulk.

  I like the pins.  There was the thought to sew with thread either by machine or hand but the look of the basting pins delights me for the moment.  I love safety pins and enjoy featuring them;  they have such a bad reputation.

How does it feel to wear?  Awesome.  It 'moves' with and around the body;  clothing as architecture.
