This cropped coat is made from a summer weight quilt that is hand-pieced and machine quilted in a forever classic Lone Star pattern. This lightweight quilt has a thin layer of flannel that was used for the batting, so it has a lovely drape. There are many colorful florals used throughout as well as indigo and blue fabrics, which have been further complimented by a dusty blue and cream dot fabric throughout for the inner collar, front placket, sleeve cuffs, pockets, and bound edges. This style jacket features a scooped side hem, bound edges, 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 or slightly discolored areas - these are not viewed as flaws, but rather giving it character and showing its history. I have done my best to capture these areas in the photos, but is possible that not all are photographed. Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
