Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Remember my linen dress from 1935? You can find it here in my BurdaStyle studio.I always wanted to make the coat that goes with it – well, I admit, I changed it around a bit. It was meant to be a summer coat, and I turned it into a winter version. The whys and wherefores you can read about on my blog Of Dreams and Seams
Material Notes
Furniture fabric… lining… lots of fine black cord… a loooong zipper.

I love the fabric, and that’s neat that it’s furniture fabric. The details of your lines look great. I think it will look lovely with your linen dress.

So beautiful! I love how the cording is luxurious but not frou-frou.

Thank you! Yes, I’m not a frou-frou girl, and I like the almost comic-like contours/contrast…

Wow, great coat. All that cording must have been so much work.

Uhm… everyone seems to think that. I almost feel like a cheater now, but I stitched it on with the machine, and it worked really well…

The cording looks amazing! I can’t imagine how long this took.

Thank you! It really was surprisingly fast! I found this great tutorial for the lining (it’s listed on my blog), and I actually stitched the cording with the machine…

Oh no, don’t say that, please… I just got it off my want-to-do list, finally…! But guess what, I actually AM making a summer coat now, also with a pattern from 1935, also with a dress to come with it…
