WOW! Beautiful! I’m just wondering how on earth you managed to get an exact half polka dot on every edge?!?

I am speechless! This is one of the most perfect jackets I’ve ever seen! The polkadot fabric under the collar is just smashing, and the coat looks sooo good!

I love this! such a great idea to add the accents! it give the garment a whole new look! is the fabric water proof?? I want to make a raincoat/ waterproof trench coat myself but can’t seem to find the right fabric!

Hello kess !!
My garment is gabardine, but not really waterproof.
I heard easy way is using nylon oxford, laminate, Gore-tex or waterproof spray.
Sorry i cannot help you….
But I hope you find nice garment !
Thank you.

Very nice and neatly done. The polka dot was a great idea….well done

Such a beautiful coat!
Could you maybe tell me what kind of interfacing you used? I’m in the proces of making a trenchcoat myself and can’t decide on which one to use.

Hello LittleGirl !
I recommend to choose it with sewing shop staff.
Because of it will depend on the garment you use.
For your information, followings are my example.
interfacing type : non-woven / fusible / light weight type (the gabardine i used was strong and hard,so light type was enough)
I used it on : whole facing / body upper side(around shoulder) / back collar / hem line / pockets / botton holes
I hope you can find your perfect one !!!
thank you.

Hello Misumihaela!
I used short jacket pattern, and changed the length, added the details like flaps, belt or collar.
I choose this pattern because of only my personal body shape issue.(this pattern has narrow shoulder width it is good for me)
I also considered following Burda patterns, they look also nice.
