Doubleweave Overshot Jacket

The inspiration for this garment was a combination of a study group exploration of
overshot and a guild program on doubleweave by Jennifer Moore.

The draft is a revised overshot from a book of Bertha G. Hayes' patterns from the 1940's.

Here is the finished vest. I'm not an experienced sewer, so don't look too closely! Notice the back of the cloth used as inserts on the sides.

My project was to try doing tied doubleweave so the two sides of the cloth were different. The plaid is one version of my family (Murray) tartan.

I started out making a ruana on the loom, but it soon became clear that the cloth would be much to heavy to hang correctly. I ended up making a vest from the cloth, and wanted to show the reverse side of the cloth, so I put in side inserts with the reverse side showing. The vest is in the next upload.
