this is a version of the coat 704 from the 1st row collection from burdafashion.com.
I modified the pattern cause I don’t like the collar and the belt.
Instead of the collar I copied a hoodie from another coat and added it on the neckline. I used leather straps for the belt loops.
because of the sleeves it was really difficult to make, but I thought it would be nice to try something new.
I’m quite happy with the result.
3 metres wool fabric for 4 euros from flew market, 3 meters printed cotton fabric for the lining, 2 cheap Ikea fleece quilts for the batting ;) leather straps and 7 buttons
