boiled wool by
Pat in Virginia
Hello!
Boiled wool is a great fabric, IMO. I have some old woolen
sweaters and would like to use those to make boiled wool
vests (waistcoats.) If you have suggestions, I'd appreciate
your advice.
Thanks bunches. PAT in VA/USA

Does anyone have a lead to a specific pattern for that shirt? Or the
