We've found the perfect match for our new sewing pattern, The Blazer. This beautiful 100% wool fabric comes in two colour choices - Rust or Sky. This medium weight fabric has a cream warp with a navy weft, giving the fabric a pixellated appearance highlighted by the dark blue, mustard and orange speckles in the fabric.
This kit will provide you with everything you need to sew our new pattern, The Blazer.
The garment in the 4th image is made in the Sky version by our pattern tester, Tess. The rest of the garment images are not made in this fabric but are to illustrate the pattern fit.
