Black and Blue Boucle

I was really hoping to post a springtime garment this week but the weather just isn’t cooperating.  So instead, I’m going for warmth and comfort.  I drafted the pattern for this jacket using Pattern Master Boutique software.  It has shoulder princess seams and closes with a button and loop.  The fabric is wool boucle lined with Bemburg rayon.  I tried several different contrasting fabrics for the trim before I settled on stretch velvet.  I like the soft, slightly shiny finish of the velvet against the nubby texture of the boucle.  This is a very comfortable jacket and I wear it more than any other in my closet.
