It also had a wide bottom and is a fitted jacket. This gives me a direction. When I get some funds built up I am going to buy those roosters from nancy's notions and use those designs. Then I will also be looking for the fabric foundation color and florals to go with it to add into the jacket. i can do this. The quilting will probably be McTavishing so that way it is a firm fitting jacket and use wool for the batting. Wool is so fun to quilt on.
