    Pattern Testing the Flynn Jacket by In The Folds

    May 17, 2019 /

    I'm sharing my review of the new Flynn Jacket pattern by In The Folds today! I had the opportunity to test the sleeveless version of the pattern for Emily and believe this would be a wonderful addition to anyone's wardrobe. Flynn is unique, functional, and feels really good to wear. It's an unlined jacket or vest with beautiful insides. All of the inner seams are bound with bias tape. The curved style lines make for a really beautiful finished piece.
