Burda Style For people who sew
Description
My grandmother bought this Pendleton wool suiting in the 1960s whilst visiting the mill, and she gave it to me last summer. I’ve used it to create a tuxedo-inspired jacket, with the matching trousers soon to follow! Read and see loads more about it at: http://www.fehrtrade.com/gallery/83/forty-year-wool-jacket
Material Notes
100% wool Pendleton suiting fabric plus some crepe-backed satin for the front facing, collar, and lining
