Butterick pattern
Maria has made another jacket with the French couture technique of quilting the lining and not using any facings. The fashion boucle was all underlined with silk organza, and then lined with silk charmeause. The charmeuse lining needed Maria’s artistic touch, and so she added fabric paint! The beautiful boucle fabric came from Mendel Goldberg in New York. This is an outstanding jacket.

Carol always makes wonderful knit tops. She gets her inspiration from garments she sees online from Europe. This terry fabric came from “Lillestoff”. She buys her patterns on line, and a lot of them are written in German, but the drawings are good so it is understandable.
