odd trench/rain coat

Size_chart

Description

The knock off trench coat that I saved the pictures from website long time ago...I like the pattern and muslin I made but I dislike the fabric that I ordered online. This coat was hanging around half done until today. I have decided to finish it so that I can move on without any guilt. It's still need the real belt though. That thing on the waistline is just a temporary belt. (from the Laura pattern)

Materials

Double faced gabardine (good for making outdoor tent or blackout curtain, certainly unsuitable for garments)

Credits

To the designer that made this
design, Burdastyle.com for pattern pieces
belt , cuffs belt from Laura dress
sleeves from Steffi
and Elaine... for encouragement.

Mrs. Stylebook issue# 143-146, without them, I couldn't do this.

    you finished it so fast! i don't know what you were so worried about - this looks WONDERFUL. so many great details and the color is beautiful. i think the drape looks nice too- the perfect trench! oh wow-- i just read that you drafted the pattern yourself based on the photos-- that's amazing!

    You did such a great job with the trench coat. I want one too... I actually like the version with the temporary belt better. It's more out of the ordinary.

    reconsidering summer sewing plans

    It's amazing! Such a shame if the fabric is no good... it doesn't show in the pictures! I'm very impressed to read you drafted this complicated pattern yourself, it's got so many unusual details...WOW!

    This is so great, I think the fabric looks great too, why were you disappointed with it? I'm definitely finishing my abandoned coat project!

    sewing summer clothes.

    Thank you for all the nice compliments. Ummm, you can't really tell from the photos how stiff the fabric is.... I can't pin on this fabric because the pin will bend and it makes holes. I had such a hard time sewing buttons on. When I press the seam open or flat, it won't open or flat unless I use the glue on tape......... Mellow-gold ....I drafted the pattern from sloper and I don't know where I got this design from. Kasia26...I would love to see your version!.....

    wow, that is really a big pain to work with. But it looks so good!! You couldn't even tell the difference with the original, it's like it's another color version! You are really good in making patterns! I am super impressed.
