I’ve continued exactly the same style for the Left Front of the jacket as I did for the back – lines and lines of stitches in close(ish) tones. I’ve used some broader stitches – floral feather stitch, feather stitch, Mountmellick Thorn stitch – and some narrower – cable chain, closed feather, shell chain.
