| This little jacket is particularly nice in a soft,
drapy fabric: knits, light-weight boiled wools or faux suede, metallic knits, velour, eyelash fabric, faux fur . . . It can be reversible, and it can be easily lined. Embellish the jacket to your heart’s content! Trim the edges with a blanket or buttonhole stitch, or with binding, braid, a beaded fringe . . . |
