This is a fun and functional wrap that works for many purposes. The pockets make a great addition to a generously shaped wrap, keeping you warm and comfortable with space for glasses and phone or whatever you need handy. The best part about it is, there are no sleeves. Just add a shawl pin to complete the look.
I originally designed this for my mother- in- law, Sarah. She had a stroke which affected her left side and it was difficult to get on a jacket. It was such a hit that I made one for myself and my friend. So far, everyone who has seen it, likes it.
