I have been inspired by the many faux fur jackets recently, and knew I wanted one that would be easy to throw on and versatile enough to dress up or down. I have looked for some time and found this pattern on ebay. Other bidders wanted it also, so I am having to justify this pattern by telling myself I will be able to use it again...and again.......ahhh justifications......
- I really liked the back as it has some structure with the band giving it more form than a simple "throw".
- I envisioned the black cape stole below. How this stole could tie with thick faux fur and lining and no extra length to tie, as the pattern would have you believe, must have been a little white lie Vogue sanctioned in 1960.
- I ended up with this look. No option to tie, but that is okay. I love it.
- Cape stole front worn with my weekend uniform-jeans.
- Faux fur fabric from Ginnys in Rochester MN. If you ever need to visit the The Mayo Clinic, this fabric store is across the street and is OUTSTANDING. She has been there for 30 years and has lovely fabrics.....
- Cape stole with the casual "I'm gonna walk with my hands in my pockets look".
- Betsey Johnson silk charmeuse animal print lining from emmaonesock purchased several months ago.
- Labels from etsy. I am going to start to make sure my garments are "label worthy".
- I loved this pattern. I love vintage patterns. This format was bullet point and a diagram. So easy to assemble and follow. Cute to wear. I hope to make the longer version probably, in the year 2019-that is the next opening in my schedule :).
Happy Thanksgiving to All. I am thankful for so much in my life. Have a wonderful day.
