This Flora Jacket is made from a lightweight quilt that is hand-pieced and quilted in the ever classic Lone Star pattern. The edges are bound in a 100% cotton 1930s/40s reproduction floral fabric that perfectly compliments each of pieced diamond blocks of the quilt! This quilt came to me with some heavy staining - I gently soaked this several of times, dried in the sun, and was rewarded with the sweetest sunshine yellow! There is even fading throughout the yellow main fabric.
This style jacket features a straight 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. Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
