I have seen several version of 1940s dressing gowns/house coats from this pattern and they look amazing!!

I loved the kicking baby feet in your cutting out portions.

That's turning out beautifully!

The pockets are fantastic! What a great coat. And it is perfect for twirling

Hi Marika....your coat is going to be BEAUTIFUL!! And so many kudos to you for matching the lines in the fabric pattern, a sign of good quality and craftsmanship. Love the raspberry colour you've picked for your lining ❤❤❤

Hello Heather! Thank you so much. It takes time, but when it works out it it makes my heart sing 😍

It IS a perfect twirling coat! Beautiful work, beautiful fabric, beautiful YOU! Hugs

Looking lovely (and the little wiggly baby feet are cute too!)

It's looking beautiful! And I love all the tips. Pressing the sleeve over the tailor's ham is such a great idea 💡

I enjoy seeing your process. Thanks for showing it. I was surprised to see how badly the fabric frayed...it was only evident on the collar and stand, but it was surprising. The finish so far is looking very nice with a great fit. I like deep pockets on coats. I'm excited to see the raspberry pink lining, double breasted front, cape and cuffs. Thank you.

I didn't think it would fray as bad as it did, but once I started cutting I knew it would likely give me some grief.

@@EnchantedRoseCostumes oh I keep forgetting about digital! I will have to check that out. Everyone has great ideas and patterns of late. My patterns wants are growing and my project ideas is huge! Your all bad influences lol. Not that I need much encouragement

I can't believe that you could get that done while you have an infant! Lol Oh my gosh that is amazing looking already! Y'all are inspiring me! I love the swing skirt on coats and because of having lost 175 pounds, I still have a lot of hanging skin and thought from my upper arms. (are used to call them my lunch lady arms but then my youngest, was maybe six at the time, told me that because he was a baby dragon that those are my mama dragon wings; which is a much nicer way to frame it!) Regardless, my "mama dragon wings" make it really difficult for me to get my upper arms into garments because they aren't designed for people who might have a size large torso and size 2X upper arms. But that's one of the joys of sewing right? That you can alter patterns to meet your needs. I'm super impressed about your weld pockets and pattern matching! I really love how you showed a simple way to line up patterns!

Beautiful work. And may I say, you look glowy and fantastic.

Great tip on how you got your pocket flaps to match perfectly! Twirling in it at the end was so full of joy!!

This is coming out great, and the decorative serging is a really cute idea! Though nothing is quite as cute as little baby feets kicking in a time lapse! 🥰

love love love! this jacket is amazing! the pattern on your fashion fabric reminds my nerdy self of the pac-man maze! so cool!

It’s just delightful to see you so happy with the result of your skill. A very welcome boost to my day!

I actually made myself a winter coat back at the end of November. I used a fuchsia/purple herringbone tweed wool and some rayon to do a lined version of Friday Pattern Company's Cambira Duster. Super jazzed with how your coat is coming along! I love the way the pattern in the fabric looks. Swishy twirly coats for the win! :D

Coming along beautifully xxx

Ah, so stunning! It looks gorgeous on you! Those pockets -- wow. The blend so well into the coat, and it's such a clever technique. Definitely want to try that (one of these days, if I ever get to the point of being able to make a coat!). And that magnet seam allowance trick? Genius! Definitely going to use that! Excited to see how the rest of it comes together, especially the capelet, which might be my favourite part of the look!

Around 1971 I was wearing a 1940's coat like that, that had been my mother's, to school as a dress. That's how long I have been interested in history bounding.

Good tip about how you sew princess seams from top to bottom, I've started doing that myself. And for pattern-matching the plaid I'm working with (twice now) I line up the waistband and everything else seems to work out ok from there. Took a long time to get the princess seam bodice block fitted to me but now I feel like I can make anything!! Haven't tried a welt pocket yet but I've recently done ones where you do the same thing but without the actual welt, stitching the inside to the outside, cutting the hole then flipping it to the inside. Kinda terrifying to cut your fabric like that but so far it's worked well!

There is always that momentary hesitation when it comes to that cut 😅 I still have it after 20 years of sewing 🙃 but the pay off is so great!

I love how you put those pockets in... the last time I tried I had to cut the whole front part anew. Luckily I had enough fabric. I think I try using some light fabric for the inner parts the next time, like you did. My first try l definitely looks rather bulky. Have a nice day;)

Oh no! I'm glad you had enough fabric! I've seen the fashion fabric used as 1 layer for pockets before but I usually try and use lining to help with the thickness 😄

I was quite worried about how loose the weave was on your fashion fabric, but you handled it beautifully!

@EnchantedRoseCostumes

Жыл бұрын

Thank you Lynn. It definitely had me worried for a moments when I started cutting 😅

Very good techniques for making a long coat. Loved the contrasting serged edges! Just wondering why no serging on any of the collar, as your choice of outer fabric really is a loose weave? I remember making a long coat over my 1st Thanksgiving weekend in college (1969). It was 12 hr drive from my parents house, too far for about 20 hrs there, & needed a calf-length long, winter coat on the shore of Lake Superior, in Michigan. I chose a black, cream, medium grey & dark green tweed fabric in a herringbone weave...yep, matched those seams, too. My lining was a satin, shiny grey, with a faux grey fur 1/2" thick... soo great, to tromp in the snow! I had enough length left for a 6 foot long scarf, lined with the fur side out!!! I also added black knit fabric cuffs inside @ the wrist area, to help keep the wind & snow out!!! I had used the same princess line pattern for my High School Sr. Prom coat, from a white on white thick cotton (almost rug-like), so I knew the pattern well! Your coat looks yummy! Wonderful accomplishment!!!
