A refashioning week! This coat is made from an old curtain, and is my first coat and lining attempt. I have to say, i’m quite proud!
The coat is based on a burdastyle pattern but actually self-drafted since i couldnt lay hands on the pattern! Its a sort of boucle fabric in a dusty pink with cream petersham ribbon for the bows.
Coco chanel? yes? Almost?!
