I know it won't wash well at all as I washed a scrap piece and it shrunk and looked awful. Looked on line and saw beautiful felted wool selling for $60-75 a yard. Out of my price range for a newbie. What type of fabric would you suggest i use instead of felted wool especially when there is no hem or turn over edges to this jacket? I will definetly look at some of the Simplicity patterns. Thanks
