i have always wanted to use the talea coat because i looked at all the user creations and they are all so beatiful. the directions were a little hard to understand but i made sense of them. i tried to line it but it looks like crap but its on the inside so who cares right? the coat i made curves to the side in the front a little bit im not sure why but oh well. i used snaps instead of buttons and i put buttons over the snaps to look like i actually used buttons. i shortened it also. i didnt find this pattern to hard i didnt have all that much trouble and it only took me like two days.
burda style for the pattern :-)
