One-of-a-Kind: Economy Nine Patch Flora Jacket (S)
This Flora Jacket is made from a lightweight quilt that is hand-pieced and quilted in an 'Economy Nine Patch' pattern. This quilt arguably features the happiest assortment of colors and patterns I've ever come across - all perfectly worn and faded to perfection. The outer edge, sleeves, pockets, and inner placket are constructed from a soft and beautiful olive toned Essex linen fabric, and the inner collar is pieced from the quilt's original border fabric which features the most fun 1940s fabric. I am particularly obsessed with the fabric that was used on two blocks, which I chose to prominently feature on the left front pocket, as well as on one square on the back. 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 t
