Purchased this chinese brocade on sale at Jo-Ann's. Weather got warm just as I finished the jacket, so I haven't worn it yet, but it's ready for this fall. I used Sandra Betzina's Vogue pattern #7263. The fabric was pre-quilted with black on the back side. I turned this up for the cuffs. | |
For the closures, I bought little frogs which require two tiny buttons on each side. The fabric is so busy, I didn't want to overload it with big buttons and/or frogs. These worked out great. I think this will be fun to wear with black pants. |
