Have you heard about the Special Issue 13 of Coudre c’est facile<\/i> magazine<\/a> that was on newsstands three months ago? The first time I came across this pattern I was like WOW. Yet nothing really complicated about this design, it’s just that I could see enormous potential in it. What I especially liked were the dropped sleeves, the wide oversized cut and the slightly rounded shape. Since the magazine was no longer on newsstands, I ordered it directly from the publisher. And off I went on a wonderful adventure with my green wool fabric found in early February at Les coupons de Saint-Pierre<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The 2 modifications I made: I decided to add a few centimeters to lengthen the bottom. Then I removed the side pockets to replace them with piped pockets with flaps toward the front at a 20-degree angle (right now I’m obsessed with this angle, I even went and bought myself a protractor\u2014so funny! My nemesis from elementary school has become my best ally). I also added a lining. <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca1 What I learned with this project:<\/b> Apply fusible interfacing to all pieces before assembling them because in my research, I learned that this was one of the secrets to achieving a beautiful professional finish. So I tested it for the first time, and I approve with a capital A. <\/p>\n

Have you heard about the “coudre c’est facile” Mag? I bought the special-issue numb.13<\/a> as soon as I saw it. I was totally in love with this coat’s slightly rounded shape, its falling shoulders. Actually nothing really amazing in this, it’s just that I could see a lot of potential. So I decided to make this coat using a green wool I got 2 weeks ago at Les coupons de Saint-Pierre<\/a>. <\/i><\/p>\n

Here are the 2 modifications I made: the first alteration was to trace the pattern long enough to cover my knees. Second and significant modification was to make these piped pockets in the front with a 20 degree slope. I also added a lining.
\n\ud83d\udca1 What I learned with this project:<\/b> Prior to making my coat I had read on how to get a professional look for homemade coats. One of the tips I decided to try is the interfacing of all pieces. So I went ahead and did it, and it turned out better than I thought. <\/i><\/p>\n
