Description
The knock off trench coat that I saved
the pictures from website long time ago…I like the pattern and muslin I made but I dislike the fabric that I ordered online. This coat was hanging around half done until today. I have decided to finish it so that I can move on without any guilt.
It’s still need the real belt though. That thing on the waistline is just a temporary belt. (from the Laura pattern)
Material Notes
Double faced gabardine (good for making outdoor tent or blackout curtain, certainly unsuitable for garments)

Yeah, I was going to say the fabric looks like the problem… Also it looks like in the original the panel in the front is narrower and the whole top is fitted… I also had a problem with fabric like that once… For such horrible fabric it’s nice though :)

I think this is amazing. Very traditional lines with unique touches such as the off centre buttons on the back. I hope to be able to pull off such clean lines in the future. You and this site are a great inspiration!!

WOW, I love it! Love the pattern and love the color, I don’t see the stiffness of the fabric as a problem, on contrary the lower part gets a nice bell-shape. Congratulations, very well done!

Thanks everybody is so sweet. I did the semi how to for this trench. The pictures had been cut off at the top when I uploaded, some info. (such as no.)are missing, so I post the obvious one here. Hope that help.

wow, that is really a big pain to work with. But it looks so good!! You couldn’t even tell the difference with the original, it’s like it’s another color version! You are really good in making patterns! I am super impressed.

Thank you for all the nice compliments. Ummm, you can’t really tell from the photos how stiff the fabric is…. I can’t pin on this fabric because the pin will bend and it makes holes. I had such a hard time sewing buttons on. When I press the seam open or flat, it won’t open or flat unless I use the glue on tape……… Mellow-gold ….I drafted the pattern from sloper and I don’t know where I got this design from. Kasia26…I would love to see your version!…..

I love this coat. I am thinking about making a knock off your knock off. I hope you don’t mind. Great job!!!

This is fantastic! and you drafted this yourself from a picture! I am sorry you are not happy with the fabric: it shows really pretty in the pictures.
Oct 14, 2007, 12.45 PMby mellow-gold
Wow!! This is a really great job! Where did you get the pattern?

This is so great, I think the fabric looks great too, why were you disappointed with it? I’m definitely finishing my abandoned coat project!
Oct 14, 2007, 09.12 AMby lauriana
It’s amazing! Such a shame if the fabric is no good… it doesn’t show in the pictures! I’m very impressed to read you drafted this complicated pattern yourself, it’s got so many unusual details…WOW!

You did such a great job with the trench coat. I want one too… I actually like the version with the temporary belt better. It’s more out of the ordinary.

you finished it so fast! i don’t know what you were so worried about – this looks WONDERFUL. so many great details and the color is beautiful. i think the drape looks nice too- the perfect trench! oh wow— i just read that you drafted the pattern yourself based on the photos— that’s amazing!
