I finally finished the Ottobre Saffron Coat, Autumn/Winter 5/2013. My coat is not Saffron in colour, nor did I make it from a wool fabric.
I decided at the time, when it came to cutting fabric, that as I was uncertain whether the coat would suit me, that I would cut the coat out of pin wale cord. In hindsight, I should have cut it out of a wool fabric as it would be be a better weight of fabric more suitable for a coat.
Above is how it looked before I added the lining.
I really do think that a wool fabric would have sat better. Now the decision, do I now make it up in the fabric intended or do I move onto another design?
Below is the lining to the jacket. I often like a contrasting lining, it adds a surprise. Why shouldn't the inside of a coat or jacket add a pop of colour?
Currently working on a skirt and a top, again out of Ottobre magazine. I am so impressed with the fit of the patterns from this magazine. If you haven't given them a try, please do. I'd be interested in what you think of the patterns. I do like the sizing and fit of the patterns.
Have a great week everyone.
