This Flora Jacket is made from a light to midweight quilt that is hand pieced and quilted in a Union Block pattern, with the quilt backing being a cozy, brushed flannel plaid. The inner collar is lined in a lovely olive green woven linen, and front placket and edges are bound in a blue-toned leaf and dot print cotton fabric sourced locally here in Vermont.
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.
