This jacket has been a lot of fun to make, but also inspired rather a lot of cursing. I wanted a comfy but fun jacket for slopping about in. My first thought for fabric was some sort of mad cotton paisley jaquard, but I didn't have any. I thought I didn't have anything appropriate in stash until I fell over the 1m of navy velveteen I bought from R&N last festival. Not enough by itself but the right sort of thing and with some other bits and pieces I had lying about.....
