Burda Style For people who sew
Description
My new coat made from the Butterick 5824 pattern by Gretchen Hirsch! Not including the muslins I did, I made it in about 2.5 days because I was bored, needed a warm coat, and I’m apparently a one woman sweat shop. This was my first ever coat, and I also did bound buttonholes for the first time and added an interior pocket. I also interlined it because I felt like the coat fabric wasn’t heavy enough. I basted the Thermolam to the skirt lining pieces and quilted the bodice lining with it. This was also my first time quilting anything.
Did I mention that I’ve been sewing for not quite three months? :D
More details at my blog: http://young-broke-and-fabulous.blogspot.com/search/label/butterick%205824
Material Notes
The shell fabric is a rayon poly blend, the lining a poly charmeuse, and it’s interlined with Thermolam.

It’s a beautiful coat and the colour is fabulous, as well as the roses lining. And you’ve been sewing for only 3 months? Wow, that’s amazing!

Love It!
The lining looks great! Do you find it still falls nicely in the skirt with the extra interlining? I am thinking of doung this to my coat too.

It certainly added body to the skirt- almost too much, actually! I feel like I was able to strike just the right balance with the volume and length, and in any case, I’d rather have the volume rather than it hanging limply.
