a Norwegian jacket

My Norwegian souvenir. Pining for the fjords? me? well, maybe just a little ;) I bought this divinely thick, strong, and sturdy cotton drill in Oslo during our Scandinavian holiday, with dreams of making a boxy, nautically flavoured little hoodie. And done, and dusted. :) I used pattern 108 from Burdastyle magazine 10/2009. In the magazine it's made in felted wool, is lined, and has a fur-edged hood. I fancied it made up as a lighter, warm weather thing, and knew it would work out perfectly ok in that role too. Mine is unlined and I finished all the raw edges off using my overlocker so it all looks nice and neat...

I like
