This little jacket is a just-for-fun, use-it-up make. The main fabric is fabric leftover from my cream jumpsuit that I dyed indigo a while ago (the fabric, not the jumpsuit). The block print band is from a well-loved + well-worn top. The pockets are the best parts cut from a threadbare dishtowel. I just liked how they all looked together. It's kind of fun to realize that each of these fabrics was dyed with indigo at different times, by different people, with different results. No appropriately colored thread meant that navy embroidery floss was employed for hemming + attaching the pockets.
I used a vintage robe pattern, cut the length at a point I liked, + left the sleeves off. The side seams were each cut in about an inch, since I imagined wearing this piece open rather than tied closed + didn't need so much width.
Perfectly patchy? :)
Love,
Jane
