I like it...that fabric looks like a tough one to match up, but I'm so down with the plaid...

Goodness! I didn't think I could like the original Talea any more but this is an excellent Variation. Kudos Burdastyle! :)

You obviously had a hard time matching the fabric. The mismatched plaid makes it hard to decide whether I like the pattern or not, especially as the back looks so weird.

I love the shape of this coat, and I'm going to make this but probably out of plain bright fabric so I don't have to worry about matching it up. If I start soon it should be ready for next winter!

I would LOVE to make this... I'm only beginning to make my own clothes, and I'm hoping this isn't too complicated... I'll keep my eye out for some plain burgundy fabric, black buttons, and black lining.

So long as I don't wear a checkered scarf with it I won't look too much like Doctor Who!

it looks a bit unmatched down the back... but otherwise this is a lovely piece of work! Maybe I'll try it once I'm done sewing my line up of other projects... hoo boy.

Hi Everybody! Honestly, I think it is really hard to match the plaid and I would probably suggest to anyone to choose an easier fabric. The reason why the back is so weird is because a little mishap happened to us the last minute before the photoshoot: we burned the entire back panel with the iron, which was on a setting way to high for the woolen material. Consequently we had to take the back panel out and replace it with the remaining scraps of the fabric in the last minutes before the shoot. You see our sewing is just as prone to accidents as any of yours, but often, even if not in this case, those accidents turn out to be great!

i love plaids and that is one of the best plaids i've seen, it's gorgeous

i love it!!! =)

This is a really beautiful coat. I'm a novice sewer but this pattern will keep me motivated. I'm going to make it one day (maybe even with the big plaid pattern). watch this space! Meanwhile I'm starting with a humbler creation (a dress, 8351). Wish me luck.
