A sunny coat!

I love coats ...
I didnt know , what a style I wanted to have or to sew...

and I found fortuitous this pattern :





from Burda
Number 7314

A-Line Coat with back pleat 
and tulip sleeves



 










ok, I must confess : I attracted attention to this coat pattern thanks to the hat!!!

I have an analog hat from my grandmother, and I love it ....
even if I never wear it :-(










And hier comes a sunny coat in the german winter!!! :-)))





I sewed it in the european sizes 36 ( like a US Size 8).
I have normally size 10 but I cut it in 8 for fear of having a too wide coat.
I'm not tall ... that's why! :-)

The fabric is a mix of wool (70%) and cashemere (30%) : so ... warm!!!

I found out this lining fabric and I'm very happy with this because all the plain-colored lining fabric I found gave a too strong combination with this yellow color!






I cut front and back pieces 4 inches shorter and the sleeves 1 inch shorter.
But I have short legs and short arms!!! :-)




I love the tulip sleeves!
They look big at the photo but it's lovely beim wearing it!







I used transparent snap fastener because I didn't want to be 
limited with other colors.

I can wear this coat with brown or grey color scarf for exemple.




The coat back has a big pleat at the middle :









but I closed it deeper because it was too wide





and hier a view with lining and the label! :-)



Now, I must be courageous and wear this sunny coat!
I think, it could make high spirits! :-)
