TADA!!! I finally finished & it only took me a month :D
One of my local fabric shops, Stoff & Stil had a sewing competition. The rules of the competition were to make a coat using either fabric or a pattern from Stoff & Stil. Luckily I had some fabric in my stash that was perfect for the idea I had in my head.
I drafted my own pattern & it ended up being a bit 60’s, guess I’ve been watching too much Mad Men ;) I’m really happy with how it turned out, but I did have some problems. I made some small changes to my muslin, but forgot to add it to some parts of the paper pattern & ended up with the neckline being wider than I had planned. But it turned out ok, I just changed the collar slightly.
I chose the red lining because together with the brown velvet it reminded me of a robin, quite fitting for a coat made in winter I thought :)
The buttons I recycled from an old H&M coat, now all I need is a reason to wear it!
