This Flora Jacket is made from a medium weight quilt that is hand-pieced and quilted in a Blazing Star pattern with faded red sashing. The edges are bound in a floral indigo cotton 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. This particular piece has fading throughout, as well as some patches in the red sashing, and some areas showing wear and thinning. Areas left in their original state were done so intentionally so as to not distract from the original quilt and draw too much attention to the mends. Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
