Travis Bickle is a Vietnam vet turned night shift taxi driver, turned almost presidential candidate assassin, turned prostitute protector. He’s an insomniac with PTSD and poor social skills. He has an obsessive personality and really skewed ideas of what it means to be a hero.
Somewhere around 2016 or 2017 Aaron and I took a road trip to Rosarito, an area in Baja Mexico, with some friends. While there, we were approached by various vendors on the beach to purchase things like ponchos and blankets. I, while under the influence, took little convincing to purchase a poncho. (Please note, I still have that poncho and I always get compliments on it.) Anyway, Aaron isn’t easily swayed. So we came back across the border without having purchased a Baja jacket for him. But since then he’s been kinda obsessed with them.
Every year (sometimes twice a year) I go through my fabric stash and try to clear out as much clutter as I can. When I come across small cuts of fabric that I can’t seem to part with, I try to find a creative way to use them. So when I found about two yards of these two fabrics, I thought they’d both work for a top. But I didn’t quite have enough of either to finish most of the patterns that I had. But then the engineering part of my brain clicked on, and I realized that if I used both fabrics in one reversible shirt, I wouldn’t have to worry about the extra fabric that I would need for, say, facing pieces.

I have spoken at length about my love-hate relationship with jumpsuits. I think what I love most about them is how they look…on other people. I have this fantasy in my mind about how I think they will look on me. And what tends to happen is that I will purchase or make a jumpsuit and then put it on and be instantly disappointed in how it looks. That said, when I saw this Mimi G pattern I said, maybe this is the one that’s going to look amazing on me.
