This Flora Jacket is made from a lightweight quilt that is hand-pieced and quilted in a Chimney Sweep pattern, with a 100% cotton batting and very soft! The outer edges, inner collar, and front placket are bound in a dusty blue and navy floral fabric. This style jacket features a scooped side hem, bound edges, plackets and inner collar, 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 a stand up collar - 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. Most notable on this piece is the staining/age discoloration on the backing fabric as seen inside the finished piece - this quilt was soaked multiple times so is clean, however the staining did not lift entirely. Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
