Motivation
I’ve been more and more interested in doing some projects with clothing and learning to sew. One thing I had always had in the back of my head was waxing a cotton garment to waterproof it. I didn’t have any jackets that I wanted to put up for the experiment, but hadn’t been able to find something to work on.
Then I found the perfect cotton safari type jacket in a Salvation Army in downtown Portland. It fit perfectly in the shoulders and chest, but was a little long in the sleeves. For $8 it was the perfect start to my project.
