Provençal Jacket

Patchwork jacket involving antique linen sheet and printed fabric scrap; one off from Scobel Clothing.

The fabric scrap was rescued from Grannies scrap box. She had this fabric as her kitchen curtains. The design is taken from David Gentleman’s sketchbook after a year travelling round Spain as the country recovered from civil war. I particularly like this honest take on the’ Toile de joi’ as opposed to the more traditional ‘Marie Antoinette’ version
