As a continuation of the H. Hankin quilt project we are breaking down a group of knitwear that is in a color group-- raspberry to pinks to cream whites. When getting ready to cut apart a wool hand knitted jacket, in this group, we noticed how wonderfully this particular jacket was made by Harriet. She not only was a master knitter but was also and accomplished seamstress or.... she knew someone who was.

The photo below shows the knitted facing sewn to the main body of the jacket. Knitted on a diagonal and sewn with an almost imperceivable seam line.
