Here is the coat I made for the BurdaStyle book!
I made it in the summer of 2010. So long ago! I had a crazy week of sewing to get it finished in time for the deadline while working fulltime. I was up til 6:30am on the day I had to send it. Then my lovely friend Adorjan got up really early to take photos of me before the courier picked it up.
Budapest was already hot at 8:30am and I was wandering around the city in a wool coat...
I got my coat back when I went to New York for the book launch party in November and I have been wearing it every day since.
I got sent this lovely green wool from Pendelton.
Modifications:
I lengthened the bodice 7cm.
I lengthened the sleeves too.
I made a half circle skirt. I love circle skirts, I love the way they move. I made a facing for the hem.
Topstitching on all the bodice seams.
Extra buttons. I think too many. With triangular bound buttonholes.
I had to learn how to do regular bound buttonholes for the inside. Triangular ones are easier!
