Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Hello everybody, this is my first coat I ever made, it is made this year somewhere in January, it took me a while to finish, due all kind of First Times: a coat, lining a coat, the closing with the hide button closure.
After I had a long night headache with understanding the closure instructions…but i did understand them :), I found this tutorial https://mezzocouture.wordpress.com/2010/10/24/hidden-button-closures-are-difficult/#comment-938 , It was much better to find it before making the closure but maybe someone will find this also useful.
The coat has a kind of tie thing behind that looks on the front side as 2 pockets . I had to omit that as I find it to heavy in the fabric I used, but without that the gathers can be better seen on the back.
Thank you for reading, xx

Bravo! what were the finishing things about making an amazing jacket like that that took a bit for you to finish up? i think it’s beautiful and am scared of trying patterns with lining like that. any tips and/or advise will be appreciated!!

Thank you. No special occasion, just want it so much to try making a coat :) ( a little bit “out of my league kind of thing”, to see if I can manage it)

What a great coat you made, unbelievable,that this is your first one! And I don’t remember that they featured such a nice coat pattern in their magazine – probably your version is better than the original! Now I have to put this coat on my list of future sewing projects!

Yes, is a nice model. In the magazine was made in a dogtooth fabric, not easy to see the details, so you might have just skip it. Thank you for your nice words.
