Unleash your inner bohemian in this groovy patchwork top!

This amazing piece is made up of dozens of handmade fabric 3-inch Yo-Yos ranging in a variety of patterns from calico to gingham to psychedelic. 

Yo-Yo is traditionally a quilting technique, however, it has been occasionally used in fashion by bohemians throughout the era -- most commonly the late 1960s/early 1970s.

Top fastens with hook and eyes and ties at the waist with a grosgrain ribbon. It also could be styled as a vest.

This piece was well worn and loved by the flower child who made it. It is structurally sound and wearable as is, but it is a little dingy. A few yo-yos have light stains or discoloration. Fortunately, the patterns are so busy, it's hard to tell. There are a few stains on the ribbon. None of these flaws detract. Priced accordingly.
