Black and Blue Boucle
Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 2:57PM
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.
