‘Tis not pressed, has only a pin holding the neckline in place but …. ’tis done!
Finishing off bits and pieces.
Catch-stitched the outer fabric.
Unpicked a little of the side seam and inserted the ties.
The lining sewn down.
Finished! It does need a good steam.
Details I liked.
Centre back seam and 2-3 tiny darts either side of the CB.
The side ties, an alternative to belting the entire coat.
I even think I could wear the neck open.
Things not yet done – button for the neck, hook and eye on the inside to hold the under coat piece.
Kudos! Doesn’t it feel great?! It looks fantastic. Well done!
Oh, it looks lovely! I especially love the darting and seaming at the back!
I really like this design and how you’ve done it. Any tips for adapting this into a male trenchcoat?
Thanks,
Gene
