Pattern for the pirate coat
I braved the ginormous mess that is The Stash and was duly rewarded. The 3 yards of purple velvet coordinates beautifully with the 6 yards purple and black flocked suiting! That velvet should be enough for the pirate jacket, which takes 3.3 yards, but the pattern I have (McCall’s 2258) is a man’s jacket, and even in women’s sizes, I never need as much fabric as proscribed, being short and petite. The purple flocked will all go into a nice, full skirt. Plus there seems to be enough black velvet leftover to be jacket contrast (collar, cuffs, pocket flaps). Yay!
However, I’ll have to steal the black satin lining fabric from another project. Also need to use the white blouse fabric for the muslin. Which could be ok, as I have a modern blouse in my wardrobe that will work with the outfit, in a pinch.
