I needed a new long wool coat, well let me restate, not a new one, I just needed one. A long wool coat that was warm and stylish was something I needed and wanted.
I ordered Mood Fabrics' Italian Ocean Blue Wool/Cashmere Coating and Rumba Red Lining, I think it makes a beautiful combination. I love this cashmere/wool, it is so soft and warm and I love how wool sews, not to mention it comes in twelve colors and the lining comes in five colors.
Now that I had my wool, I went in search of the pattern, I went with Butterick 6720, I loved the collar, the belt and the length. I also liked the fact no buttonholes, which I liked with the thicker wool.
The Wool/Cashmere is reorderable, which is a very good thing..... I didn't order enough the first time. I quickly went to Mood Fabrics and ordered the extra yardage.
While making this jacket, I added structure to the inside, interfacing, horsehair canvas, sleeve heads and shoulder pads.Which you can read about here
This fabric is 1/16th inch thick, so it took a bit more steps to construct. on all the seams, I used a hand catchstitch to keep the seams flat. I also basted the seam allowance on the pockets so they would stay in place while I topstitched them. After the pockets were attached to the coat, I removed the basting.
I did lengthen my stitch to 3.5 for the topstitching
The back of this pattern is just a classic look and I like the coat is not oversized at all, just a classic fit and look
The lining was not drafted with a back pleat for ease , so I changed the back pattern piece to allow of this. Grainline Studio has an amazing tutorial for a coat lining, certain areas we need to add some seam allowance to make a better lining. Check it out, it is so good
One other item was missing in this coat, no belt loops, so I added them. I measured the width of the belt and made the belt loops long enough to accommodate the belt. No worries about losing my belt.
Here is the belt and belt loop
This wool was so warm, I did not mind photos in the 20 degrees! I was warm, well, I should have remembered my gloves.
Disclosure - The fabric for this post was provided by Mood Fabrics in exchange for a blog post on
Mood Sewciety. The opinions about the fabric are all mine

ReplyDeleteWow! such a beautiful outfit. My sister also loves to wear such types of coats, and she always tries to search for these coats. Even recently she asked me to go to market with her to buy this coat, but I refused to go with her because I was finding the Finance Dissertation Writing Service for my dissertation, and she got upset. Therefore, I am thinking of gift her this coat.

ReplyDeleteWhen I and my wife started the process of purchasing our new home for us and our kids, we never expected to run into any problems with our credit report. We felt we were diligent in keeping up with our scores and what was reported without noticing any errors. We got faced with a significant credit reporting error that was going to make buying our home impossible. We were completely discouraged, and we felt helpless. From the moment we contacted 760Plus Credit Score, they were responsive, knowledgeable, and helped to set aside our fears. It was done in a way that also gave us realistic expectations, which we needed. We thank you immensely for helping us realize our long-term dream of becoming home owners. I’m recommending your services, as promised. Reach out to them via email: 760PLUSCREDITSCORE@GMAIL .COM or text 815 524 8116. Thank me later.
ReplyDeleteBe careful of crypto platforms promising huge returns. They lure people into fake programs. I was scammed 198,450 USD last year. While researching on how to recover my funds, I came across several recommendations on the Bitcoin Abuse Forum about HACKERSTEVE. I contacted him via his email on hackersteve911@gmail.com, and he helped me recover all my funds. If you've also been a victim of financial scams, don't hesitate to get in touch with STEVE.
