Last year I was facetiming with my mom while wearing my boiled wool blend Estelle Ponte Jacket, and she took a liking to it.
I'd purchased the green boiled wool blend for my Estelle jacket from Stash, and I knew Robin still had some in a beautiful deep purple color that would be perfect for my mom. She doesn't have any more of the purple now, but she does have a stunning teal, vibrant red and classic black and white.
This fabric works perfectly for the Style Arc Estelle pattern, a knee length jacket with a dramatic waterfall cardigan. The fabric has the gorgeous nubby texture of a boiled wool, with the delicious drape of viscose.
And it doesn't need hemming! The Estelle pattern calls for raw edges on the bodice and sleeves, so that's perfect. I finished the interior seams with sort of a flat fell with raw edges. It's a very quick project.
This is a size 12 Estelle, which worked well for my Mom.
