I used wool for the coat and knit for the lining from fabric wholesale direct! The whole coat cost me under $30. I used simplicity 8697 as a base and lengthened it about a foot. I’m so happy with how it came out! Going to make one for my husband with a slightly different collar and pockets in the side seams
So proud of this wool coat with embroidered details that I made!
Project: FOFabulous 🤩 the embroidery is beautiful 💐
I like how you only embroidered the pockets. I would have gone overboard & covered those lapels in flowers 😅
I haven't worked up the courage to make a coat yet, & I've been sewing for decades.
What a remarkable job, really
It’s beautiful! I love the flower details and I would wear that every day it was cold enough too if I had something like that
The embroidery is so whimsical. Great job!
Beautiful! The embroidery is such a lovely touch.
So joyous! I love it
Love the embroidery! This is such a fun way to make the coat look so unique and special
Beautiful job!
Looks very warm and cozy :)
Super coat.

Few coats say "spring," but this one definitely does. Nicely done.
