They are made from a lightweight midnight blue wool and feature hong kong bound seams.
Great design! Beautiful colors! How long have you been self-drafting patterns? I'm just stepping into those waters and am a chicken - a big scaredy cat! Plus, I want to design for myself (curvy petite figure) and I never seem to get the proportions right, even in altering patterns. I'd love to hear your guidance and ideas for beginners (in pattern drafting). I need to step away from the commercial patterns for a while! Thanks for posting this.
