The pattern for my next project is from my small (but ever-growing!) collection of vintage patterns from the 60s and 70s. This is Simplicity 8353 (1969) and I'm the original owner.
For ages, I've been looking for the right wool to sew a fresh interpretation of the pattern and I recently purchased a remnant from G Street Fabrics that will work well with the rest of my wardrobe. The fabric is charcoal/black herringbone and the lining will be a heavy black satin.
