About this Product
Lightweight rayon vest can be worn for any occasion--dress it up or wear with your most casual outfit. The front drops down lower than the back, looking like a waterfall of colors. Great addition to your wardrobe for travel, going out with friends, wearing to work, etc. Adds a little pop of pizzazz to your wardrobe!
The vest was ice-dyed in colorfast dyes using a scrunch method that takes a minimum of 24 hours, then washed in hot water to rid the garment of excess dye. I always suggest washing rayon in cool water and allowing the piece to hang dry.
Size medium with approximately 21" width and that fits a bust size of 37-38".
I have other sizes in other colors listed as well.

Welcome to my online shop. Take your time and look around--I am an eclectic artist who weaves, knits, ice dyes, and makes jewelry--and I love color!
Meet the Maker
My name is Patt, spelled with 2 t's because I like to stand out from the many Patricias and Pats in this world.
Creating new, colorful art suits my multi-tasking lifestyle.
Born in San Francisco and raised on the Peninsula, I found knitting, then weaving as "indoor sports" after moving and experiencing summer’s heavy coastal fog.
Vivid colors and textures drive my work. I consider myself eclectic — I weave, knit & felt, dye, and design and create jewelry. My passion is blending colors and textures into jewelry and textile designs while not following rules and doing the expected. I strive for wearable art pieces - my works are one of a kind. I create unusual pieces and prefer being ahead of the crowd rather than part of it.
My work sells in stores and at craft shows 4 to 5 times a year. I love the in-person selling, but like many artists, the pandemic forced me online, which has been a bonus because now I have new customers from all over the country. I started online as Patt711 on Etsy, and success encouraged me to add GoImagine.com with its new give-back concept. I have also ice-dyed textiles for an LA-based fashion designer.
If you live in or visit the SF Bay Area around Thanksgiving, I also participate in Open Studios in November and that information can be found on our website: www.colonyofcoastsideartists.com
I hope you enjoy my art as much as I do creating it.

How it’s Made
All ice-dyed pieces are individually hand-dyed by me as the artist. I usually choose 4-6 colors, but also as few as1-2. Even when I dye several items in one container, no two look alike. Ice dyeing takes at least 24 hours and because I'm using ice not hot water, the colors in the dye separate and create new colors as well as blending with neighboring colors. They resemble flowing watercolors.
Shop Policies
Processing Time: My goal is to ship within 24-48 hours after purchase is complete during a regular business week; however, my dye studio is several hours from my home shop, so if I am there, my shipping time is longer. Please message me if you need something within a specific time.
If something is commissioned and special ordered, I will give the buyer an estimated time for shipping.
Return Policy: Contact me within 7 days of delivery
Ship items back within 21 days of delivery
I don't accept exchanges or cancellations (unless I haven't yet shipped), but please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
Conditions of return: Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value.
FAQ's:
Do I custom dye? Yes, I will gladly dye something for you. Because ice dyeing is very random and unpredictable, I cannot guarantee the outcome but I have many delighted customers.
