Finished project - coat

Think that I said it already: I have quite a few projects that never have been published on this blog. Sometimes this bothers me, as my blog is also a personal story of my sewing journey. When I see blog posts that I have written, say 8-10 years ago it sometimes strikes me that I have forgotten about a project or see a project that was loved, but worn out in the meantime. I like this keeping track of my projects, so I decided to try to publish more of my projects, even if it's something that it's not very interesting to others.
In this post photos of my coat, of which I published construction photos here and some random photos of a few projects made in the past few months.



The coat pattern is from the Burda March 2012 issue , adapted with the pockets from a 2007 issue.
It's lovely and warm with the interlining I applied. I still have to buy a good shawl to wear it properly. The fit is good with enough wearing ease to be able to wear a jacket underneath.





No spectacular or wild print lining. Just a very functional one.



A project for my daughter, the dress is made from a fabric that is a pita to work with. Doesn't take a pressing well. Lovely shade of red though, a bit darker than in the photos.

  
It's from the Knip Mode November 2018 issue.

And the last one for this post, looking a bit bland on the dressform, but very comfy in real life, Jemma, from Sinclair patterns. For this one I was inspired by a version one of my sewing friends wore when we had our sewing get-together in October. I'm planning to make another one soon and will discuss it in more detail. Lovely easy pattern, a one evening project.

  8. Beautiful! Each and every one.
    I, too, fail to post every single project on my blog, and then I wonder if I should "catch up", just to have a record of projects from the past.

  12. I love the Knipmode dress and have bought this pattern (sadly instructions only in Dutch, where I can only understand limited amounts). The CF junction of collar and bodice looks difficult to do well and I would welcome any advice you feel able to offer. As usual I am enjoying your blog posts (and have been to Kantjeboord inspired by much earlier comments - I am now rapidly becoming addicted to making underwear). Thank you for much inspiration.

    1. Hi Anne, can't remember whether the instructions tell you to do it like this, but I sewed the collar to the neckline before sewing the center front seam. Then I pressed the center front seam open. If necessary you could attach the collar on the seam of the center front on the inside. . If you have any further questions I'm glad to help.
