Customer Reviews
I sewed a short western-style unlined jacket with bound button holes and flat felled seams. The fabric is very soft (it is 95% wool but felt almost like acrylic!) and warm and the colour is bright and cheerful. The fabric is double faced but cannot be split. The button holes were a bit chunky as were the seams, but overall it looked OK. It was probably too much to ask of the fabric to make it unlined. With a lining, it would make a fabulous coat or jacket and would hang nicely. I used vintage brass buttons.
What amazing zingy fabric!
