Ready for Rain by Carolyn Barden

The pattern is a complete re-do of an old McCall’s jacket  (I basically stole the collar part) and I used my sloper for the body and sleeves.  The main fabric is a faille from Stylemaker’s selvedge yard.  I added the poly velour for texture and to make up the fact that the remnant was too short.  Hand appliqued Irish symbols on back and sleeves to add a bit of interest.
