This one is Burda 9596, it needed a bit of work. The proportions were a bit off with the waistline placement so I cut off 2" from the bodice and added the band. The fabric was picked up when fashion affair was clearing out their inventory.
I suppose I could say a lot more and rant about pattern companies and sourcing good interfacing but I'm so tired and just glad I got it finished. She also wanted a bonnet and I actually cut one out but it is now somewhere in a bag, in a box, under junk, on a truck and on it's way.
There's no time to post other projects but check out what I've posted on The Joy of Japanese Sewing Blog.
I am glad you finally posted this coat. I have been looking forward to it for so long. I love the vibrant orange. It suits Maryanna's personality. Love the cuff detail. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to go through withdrawal when you stop posting your cute projects during your move and when the baby comes. The latest projects are adorable, good luck with the next few busy months.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite of the coats you made. Soooo Cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it and I love that it's orange! I can't believe how much sewing you've gotten done while trying to move. You never cease to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love the coat and the color. I wish I had one that color. You are so talented, Al. Good luck on your move.
ReplyDeleteThese coats are beautiful. I love them.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS MY FAVORITE THING you have ever done! Yes, probably because it is the best color of orange, but it is so stylish too!
ReplyDeleteAl you are killing me with these cute clothes! I am going to have zero self-esteem after going to your blog. I think I will add to the unsafe sites.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, this coat could not be any cuter...
