This costume was a color study: how to mix orange, pink, coral, and wine colored yarns. Also how to blend a variety of fibers: cottons, rayon/linen blends, rayon/polyester, and a glitter blend. This can also be termed, "Using up the odds and ends in the yarn cupboard".
The weave structure is basically an eight shaft twill variation originally published in 1962 by Robin & Russ in Santa Barbara, California. Later, they had a shop in McMinnville, Oregon. I used two more shafts for the selvages. Notice that the squares are larger on the inside, and smaller on the outer side. This later is the reverse of the fabric.
