Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Retro / Vintage, Funky


Materials

Upholstery fabric, vintage buttons.

What was your inspiration?

I'm in the mood for lightweight long coats. Found the fabric at L&M in Anaheim CA, fabric cost $15, and found amazing vintage buttons that just sealed the deal

What are you most proud of?

Because I was using upholstery fabric, I didn't want a double layer on the front and back like the pattern called for - so I faced the coat instead, including the skirt. Added a pocket using instructions from : Cool Couture by Kenneth King.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

This is a coat for beginners - follow the instructions, don't improvise unless you are very comfortable.
