I felt that I didn’t have any excuses not to make the Naomi coat, pattern that was inspired by my idea and worn by Naomi Campbell. I really enjoy how it came out, although it wasn’t very easy! It makes a nice summer cover-up. Originaly I wanted to make it nautical; blue and some white accents, but while fabric shopping I saw this natural tone cotton with white and gold stripes, I Knew it was ment for my Naomi. Since I already spend some time searching for the shell and ship pictures for my nautical embroidery I decided to apply them as well. Overall I think this way is better than my original idea.
Technicaly it wasn't the easiest thing to make, but not the hardest either. I managed to attach the tie-belts, but I am not shure if that is how BurdaStyle ment it.

I love it! That's great! And I love those embroidery details. How do you do this? Whith some specific foot? Or do you have a embroidery machine?
Thank you! I don't have an embroidery machine, I did it on a regular sewing machine. I saw the technique on Martha Steward Show a while ago, it gives the embroidery very polished finish. Find the "freehand embroidery" instructions here It is simple, but time consumming. I changed it a little; instead of tracing the image I pinned very thin pice of paper with a printed image to the right side of fabric and sew directly over it, I didn't use stabilizer. To easily rip the paper hold it between your hands and rub it against itself to wrinkle the paper.
Looks great, especially matched with your skinny jeans. It's really beautiful.
I think it looks great. Of course, you just had to make Naomi ;) I'm quite impressed with the detailed embroidery as well.
Really great! I love the embroidery. And off course you had to make a Naomi.
oh that is so cool. love the embroidery & the technique. i bet it would look really cool with added length and a big belt too...
Wow. you are skilled AND creative. very very very cool. Nothing better than unique embroidery. I'm quite inspired and motivated!
