I challenged myself once more on this project because a wool coat wasn\u2019t just something I needed for fashion but also for practical use. I had given out one of my favourite and long used coats for charity so I needed something to help me cope during the 5-degree weather of the fall season.<\/p>\n
After a long hard search through the Indie pattern scene, I eventually stumbled upon the Burda 6462 and I loved it. It was just right and practical enough for my wardrobe, considering the amount and type of wool material I had to work with. Plus, I had heard plenty of good things about Burda\u2019s drafting, so I knew it was the right choice.<\/p>\n
The next thing I needed to do was meticulously sift through different fabrics to find the right one to use because every cent that would go into this would matter and I needed my money\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n
Once that had been sorted, I went right into it following the instructions that were in my Vogue Sewing Book. I also followed many online lessons and tutorials on working with wool material and after about a month of painstaking effort I was done. For the buttons, I had to hand-make them using matching embroidery thread.<\/p>\n
Making this was challenging but the end product was very satisfying and well worth it. I am glad I have a fall coat that\u2019s also loose enough to take in a few extra layers on the inside that not only keeps me warm but also makes me look fashionable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
