About this Product
Shown here is pre-loved trim, classic, blazer style small Liz Claiborne jacket. The embellishments make this jacket very visible. Speak without opening your mouth. This jacket makes a loud statement, regardless of the words embroidered on it. The colors are beautiful - purples, pinks, blues, turquoise. Hand-lined with light blue polka-dotted cotton so the stitching doesn't show when you hang your jacket on the back of a chair, or lay it over your seat. It's a very well-spoken jacket.
This jacket is ready-to-ship as is. It can be made-to-order in your size on your jacket or on one of my studio blanks. Message me for photos and available sizes.
Washing Your Embroidered Garment
DO wash in alone in cold water on Gentle or Hand-wash cycles. A large lingerie bag is helpful.
DO hang dry. An automatic dryer could cause too much friction on the threads.
Press embroidered areas with a medium hot iron. PRESS - not iron- areas with thread.
NEVER wash in hot water.
NEVER leave in water to soak.
NEVER wring.
ALWAYS hang dry.
Dry cleaning is not recommended due to use of chemical cleaning agents.

TRECE Designs
Meet the Maker
Hey, call me Trece.
I started sewing about 100 years ago, at age 12 on a knee treadle machine my parents paid $35 for. They upgraded my sewing experience to a Kenmore in 1974. And that's how it began. I still use that Kenmore. It chugs through layers of the toughest denim without a broken needle or thread.
I grew up in BC - before computers, before cell phones. Way back in the days of reading books, playing dress up, house, or school, and dancing in the street to Martha and the Vandellas, Dancing in the Street, with my babysitter named Pat. Listening to Peter and the Wolf on vinyl in a house constantly filled with music.
Today, I am a retired Cat Herder (aka middle school teacher), with a stash of beautifully colored threads and time to use it. I am inspired by words and color in my wee portion of the world. I create jackets that tell stories, make statements, and declarations. I love what I do and I love to wear it. I hope you will, too.
How it’s Made
Jackets speak louder than words. Most of my jacket designs can be made to order in your size and jacket choice. You can send me your jacket and I will give life to your idea. I also have a selection of pre-loved jackets in S, M, L, & XL. Let's talk.
