This Flora Jacket is made from a mid-weight quilt that is hand-pieced and quilted in a Jacob'a Ladder pattern comprised on a white and black calico cotton contrasted by a pink floral calico cotton, with a solid white cotton backing. The edges are bound and hood is lined in rich indigo dot fabric, to allow the fabrics and colors of the quilt to truly be the focus. The front plackets are constructed from a khaki green vintage cotton fabric.
This style jacket features a rounded side hem, bound edges, plackets and self-drafted hood that is fully lined, antique brass snaps and oversized handwarmer style pockets. This is the Flora Jacket pattern by Brightside Pattern Company that I pattern tested for them, and they were kind enough to grant me permission to make finished coats available to you! The fit is oversized through the body with slimmer arms, and roomy pockets - a truly amazing fit!
It is possible this piece shows its age in places in the form of worn, slightly discolored areas, and/or mends - these are not viewed as flaws, but rather giving it character and showing its history. Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
