Description

This is the first coat I ever made. I used McCall’s 5525 and I highly recommend that pattern. I’m pretty happy with the results and I love the color. I bought the fabric at the L.A. Garment District a few days before I started at FIDM. A year later, I finally made the coat!

Let me know what you think. Thanks! :)

Material Notes

Mid-weight woven wool suiting/coating, poly lining, mid-weight fusible interfacing, hair canvas, thread, top-stitching thread.
