Nigrofrog here ;0) My daughter got through a whole season with the jacket and it held up beautifully. I purchased the Termolam from Joann Fabrics in CT. DON’T use fusible, just the regular version. It provided warmth but not bulk. I am going to make another jacket for next year for my daughter as well exactly as I did it this year, only bigger. I used standard coat lining (satin on one side, matte on the other). Similar is “Kasha Satin, Flannel back” for the coat body and hot pink silk fabric for the hood and pocket, simply for the color pop.
Here’s Joann’s write up on the thermolam: – A needlepunched fleece with a protective scrim to interline garments for warmth and to make shoulder pads, sleeve heads, quilts and craft items.
This was a terrific pattern -the only modifications I made were adding the zipper and the thermolam. Thanks Leisl!
