Performance upholstery velveteen, excellent quality, top shelf synthetic. Firm back for upholstery. Not for a slip cover. Width: 57" This piece is from a lot of luxury deadstock home decor fabrics from Quatrine and Wall Fabrics in Australia. I have some tags, these are mostly sample rolls, they don't appear to be treated in anyway or washed from the documentation I have. These are recently used not old. Mills are in Mexico, Italy, and Spain. Some say Kravat and Perennial. Prices are below wholesale from what I see. Swatches are available. Some are natural fiber others look natural but are top shelf synthetic using solution dyed acrylic. When I say "outdoor" these pieces are not as soft and feel appropriate for outdoor but I cannot say anything about sun exposure. 

Repeat is about 1 1/2 yards but it doesn’t have a specific stop and start it is more continuous. Price is per yard. Will be nice on the bias, a blouse, dress of accent detail. Jumpstart your 2024 sewing now! Width: 53” Content: 80% rayon, 20% silk LA designer surplus

Inspired by the elegant molded look of the toppers in the era of Balenciaga. The Cocoon Jacket is soft draping through the shoulder and bust and slightly tapers to a curved hem ending at hip length. Deep dolman sleeves begin at the upper hip and are one piece seamed at the shoulder, darted, and continue into funnel neckline shape. Sleeves are 3/4 length with a tear drop opening at the wrist. Back neck and front opening are faced in an all in one front and back facing piece with no closure. Optional welt pockets include options for both a narrow double welt or a wider single welt. Optional lining is included. Variations on a Theme This design works well in a variety of fabrics which can change the use of the jacket. In a taffeta as a self lined jacket (jacket pieces cut out twice, no facings), making all the edges enclosed seams, is fast to cut and stitch completely by machine - a quick evening or rain jacket with a zip front. Piping can also be applied around the front facing or decorative stitching along each side of the body seams to accentuate the cut. It can also be cut longer to full length for a dramatic 1920’s effect in a slight taper or straight down. Sizing XS to 3X: Bust 34” to 53” and Hip 36” t0 55” - please note if you are larger than the 3x measurement this pattern is quite roomy and forgiving you may still use the 3x to up another couple of inches. Preliminary Considerations Depending on your chosen fabric take a moment to decide how you would like to interface your jacket. The funnel shaped neck may need support. Also note that the one piece sleeve wraps from the front to the back so any napped fabrics will be up on one side and down on the other. If matched to alternate properly with the front and back pieces this can yield interesting resutls when reflecting light. Fabric Recommendations Wool coating, napped soft or heavy weight velvets, brocades, crisp organza, taffeta, and faille. Also suitable, novelty fabrics, denim, wide wale corduroy, and water repellent fabrics. Sewing tips will be posted at centerforpatterndesign.com
