Spring colors abound in Tilda's "Birds and Sunflowers" quilt panel from the Sewing by Heart book by Tone Finnanger.

Loving all the details on this comfortable and stylish outfit that features a sweet top and skirt by the French designers p&m Patterns. 

This here is the Papillon & Mandarine (or P&M) Billie Jacket. The two versions are called Classico and Perfecto,which somehow describes the lapels. One style has the large, crossover lapels typical of a moto jacket, and the version I made doesn't. It is a very cool-looking jacket though. The main fabric is a Merchant & Mills flax and cotton blend oilskin called Tobacco. I've been wanting to make a jacket with this fabric, and I think it pairs perfectly with the Billie pattern. It has a sort of worn leather look, but it won't get damaged in the rain! Contrasting...
