This is the pattern I'll be making, Vogue V8991. I'll be making the jacket in a black/gold/white tweed wool. I'll be using Claire Schaeffer's book Couture Sewing: The Couture Cardigan Jacket as a reference.
- Jacket body: Italian black/gold/white tweed wool from Mood.
- Lining: Gold China silk from Mood.
- Trim: three different trims from mood, final selection to be made when the jacket is farther along.
- Interfacing: Silk organza and Pellon Ultra Weft
- Buttonhole silk twist thread from Superior Threads.
- "Handcrafted by" labels from Label Weavers.
- Gold chain weight and Japanese basting thread in four colors from Susan Khalje Couture.
- Black and gold buttons from Benno's Buttons. I previously ordered two different gold buttons from Mood, but ended up deciding the black with gold stands out more.
- Other materials including pattern, Easy Pattern tracing material, muslin, thread, and stay tape from Joann's
