Makes me think of Lucy Ricardo and a coat my mom had. It will be great as a beach coverup but as a coat, it would be killer. I love that jacket. Makes me think of Lucy Ricardo and a coat my mom had.

I stopped making it when Marie on Everybody Loves Raymond started wearing it every week in a different print. :-O I think this pattern will work out really well.

I would like to find a nice terry cloth but I may go for cotton pique instead since I have some in my stash already. It's so hard to find a good terry! Thank you, Gail, you are so nice!
