Burda Style For people who sew
Description
My first coat! I’ve worked on it for about two months. On and off, making other stuff in between, but still it was a lot of work. But I don’t mind, because I got exactly the coat that I wanted and I learned a lot. It’s warm and I love the color (most accurately portrayed in the 2nd pic). I added an extra zipper behind the buttons for extra warmth.
