Fun Projects

Sewist: Beth

Project:	1940s jacket
Fabric:	green cashmere
Lining:	Nanette Lepore 100% silk
Closures:	bound buttonholes
Pattern:	Vogue
Notes:	This project sat for years unfinished because Beth’s old house had moths. There were multiple moth holes on the back shoulder area so she appliquéd bits from her cashmere into a leaf/branch pattern to hide the hole. Another stumbling block was that she couldn’t find a lining that that liked until she saw the hydrangea print! Perfect with this wool.
