- Multicolor Japanese Wool Tweed - Feeling this fabric will make you a believer – it is soft, thin, and lightly brushed, all qualities that you wouldn't expect by just looking at it. What appears to be a burlap style barkskin is actually a lush, intricate wool tweed that would have Coco Chanel swooning. A mixture of brown, gold, grey, and cream make up the yarn-dyed fabric, and it will become a truly stunning jacket. We can't wait to make one for ourselves!
- Black Cotton Velvet - It was hard to pass up the chance to use a lush velvet for this pattern. The military style lends itself so well to this luxury fabric. The classic black allows you to show off the seamlines of the pattern, and you even have an opportunity to play with the nap on the shoulder bands for some visual and textural interest. Sturdy yet touchably soft, this velvet is a pattern match made in heaven!
