Description

I made this coat in my tailoring class last semester using a McCalls pattern (I think). I enlarged the collar. We had to include welt pockets and bound button holes. The interior is complete with hair canvas and pad stitching. It was a wonderful learning experience, but not without it’s frustrations.

I love the fabrics- wool tweed and a thicker silk/cotton blend lining. I chose to make self-covered buttons for a vintage look.

    It’s amazing how proper tailoring can take a garment from, “Nice.” to “OMG! I want one!” :) Well done!

    It’s a lovely coat and you must have learned just about all the tricky tailoring stuff in this one garment. Great work.
