This Flora Jacket is made from a lightweight quilt that is hand-pieced and quilted in a classic Lady of the Lake pattern. This quilt had a ton of bleach and age discoloration, and fugitive dye changes, along with fabric degradation in the smaller pieced triangles - after careful soaking and meticulous layout, the best parts have been salvaged to give this quilt a new life as a jacket. The edges are bound in a dusty sage petite leaf fabric, along with the inner collar and front packets. 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. Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
