Finally sunlight

This coat needs sunlight for fine photo shoots. Today finally we had time and sun! So M took me to her favorite spot nearby along the Maas, where she use to play with her best friend.

What to tell about this coat, that M is wearing for weeks now. The wool fabric we bought together in Paris. For the pattern I had this coat in my mind. I used this Burda pattern as a base; a boy's leather jacket. No Burda misery like here! Everything was clear and I sure loved to make it. It's like magic every time you do the final step and turn the coat inside out. Hear me... every time... this is my third coat ever made!


Of course a lot of changes were made. I made size 158, but for the width I used 146, because I liked the coat to be slim fit. The border, the cuffs and the collar were enlarged. A hood was added, that can be press fastened to a low standing collar. Pocket sizes on demand of M (here my smartphone, here my cards...). I decided to make the zippered pockets red lined and waterproof, which M found a lovely touch.


Decorated with stitched red triangles to make the coat extra unique ;). And lined with a bright red color, her favorite. M asked me to make it large enough to wear it many years. I told you before she is such a grateful girl to make something for.
Stay warm, sweetheart!

Ik vind hem erg mooi! Zoals veel van je ontwerpen, de tas van je vorige post vind ik ook zo mooi. Stylish zou mijn zoon zeggen. Groetjes, Gerda

Iets helemaal anders dan de manteltjes die je meestal in blogland voorbij ziet komen, maar minstens even mooi. Ik ben fan van de brede boorden!
