Bolero Jacket

I pinched this Bolero Jacket pattern from my mum and it is about 30 years old and I love it! Such an easy pattern and fits perfectly. I got the green speckled 100% wool from a friend, who's mother passed away and she gave me a few boxes of material which had some gem pieces in it! I enjoy re-using and re-creating something out of material that is meaningful to someone.

I matched some karqui green Boiled Wool perfectly and used the speckled wool as a feature for the sleeves. I did exposed seams on the outside and frayed the edges. The jacket is lined with cotton and the wool keeps you so warm. I will definately be using this pattern again and sewing more will Boiled Wool.

Bolero jackets are perfect to use while I'm pregnant and I can also use them afterwards. I have done lots of sewing lately and now I just need to get some time to take some pic's.

Here is a pic at 31 weeks, I can't believe how fast it is going!
