I love that the fabric's multi-hued tapestry style pattern obscures the otherwise giant blobs and creates such a visual feast. Plus your pattern placement is spectacular, as always.

Last time I went to Portland (it's not in Seattle), I forgot to visit RCT, but a blog reader reminded me to check it out. I go back to Portland in a couple of weeks and I plan to visit then.

That jacket will be perfect for Paris and such a great cornerstone piece for your wardrobe. Beautiful! I just looked at the pattern and it's out of print now. Just download-able. I may just have to do that. Just bought a ripcord lined with thin fleece for a raincoat at Rose City Textiles in Seattle and this would be perfect I think. Hope I can make it unlined.<br />If you haven't been to RCT you need to go next time your'e up there, it's incredible!Gayle Ortizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16942980115328024727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-5341113463240531972016-05-25T05:45:08.231-07:002016-05-25T05:45:08.231-07:00WOW...love your jacket....also sewing for a river ...WOW...love your jacket....also sewing for a river cruise....black white and some turquoise splashes.....but the coat will be perfect for Paris and the Tilton girls!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18221078433996432835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-81363241083933504922016-05-24T04:21:08.251-07:002016-05-24T04:21:08.251-07:00Wow, what an amazing trip, Leslie!

As I age, I find that I prefer a collar as it camouflages an aging neck and frames the face. But there is no "one rule" that works for everyone!

The color is superb on you, as is your accessorizing. Great job, but then you are always beautifully put together. We have very different body types so I cannot wear a lot of what you make but I could wear that jacket (although I would prefer a collar that did not zip all the way up, since my neck seems to be disappearing as I age). Thank you so much for sharing this. I have added the patter to my wish list. I am in complete agreement with you about standard crew neck tees, best for sleeping if I could stand the height of the neckline.
