...is a great stash buster! Maybe I can even wear it now that the weather promises to warm up a bit...
 |
| All made from my fabric stash! |
- except for the base of camel-colored embossed velveteen which I got for 90% off at the fabric store down the block that was going out of business.
 |
| it even has self-made bias tape around the hem and collar! |
Lest you think I'm a genuis, I did use this Koos pattern
 |
| now out of print |
It took days to figure out what fabric scraps to use together. And for some pieces, I used all I had left - like the sleeves, the off-white collar/ yoke/ stripe, or the big floral patch. The rest just made it with a tad left over. Now for some details:
 |
| psst...the collar does match up in real life |
 |
| that's stitched-on variegated gold silk ribbon |
