Contemporary quilted jacket class with designer Angela Wolf at PatternReview.com. Mint green, espresso brown. I bought this in Paris in 2007, at a fabric store at the base of the Sacre Coeur in the Anvers neighborhood. A slightly (ok, a lot) eclectic neighborhood near the Metro stop Anvers, next to which is a red-light district.
A couture (think Mme Chanel herself) jacket is a perfect complement to jeans, and while it would dress up a LBD, or a pencil skirt at a meeting, it’s most effortlessly elegant with dark skinnies and ballet flats over a tee shirt. I’m making a tried-n-true jacket, the Christine Jonson Princess Seam Jacket in a short length. I’ll add pockets (perfect for my smartphone) to the front, and crochet my own trim. When I bought this fabric, I also went to buy trim, but I was so overwhelmed with the trim choices in the store I went to in Avignon in the south of France, I didn’t buy any (next time, just buy the trim!!)
