This jacket was made from a Marcy Tilton Vogue pattern. I fell in love with the color of this double felted 100% wool melton. It has raw edges and the seams are over lapped and double top stitched. I was orginally going to needle felt the whole jacket but then decided to let the color stand alone. Instead I felted wool roving and added additional embelishments to make these flowers and leaf pins for the collar.
