This was made on a knitting machine using a knit leader. It is made from 100% Shetland wool (outer layer) and 100% pure wool lining with a light layer of polyester wadding between to pad the jerkin lightly. After the quilting the lines were decorated with a simple needle lace braid. The same was used all around the armholes and the edges. The leaves were made using basic Needle Lace techniques. I used my favourite fastening of double loops and metal buttons. This is very warm and comfortable to wear. Being pure wool dry cleaning is a must.
When I designed and made this I made lots of notes and have written the pattern. If you wish to have a copy for your own use please e-mail me.
