Sewing: Winter Coat Project Part 1
I've played around with a couple of jackets here and here - both relatively simple in construction - and am now venturing into a more complex type of coat. For this initial foray, I am experimenting with quilted faux leather and heather gray fleece. At the moment, this is still a work in progress. The edges are still raw, I haven't affixed the closures, and I haven't decided on what kind of pockets I want. I initially thought leather patch pockets, but am wondering if that is too much contrast. Maybe fleece patch pocket with a leather flap? Decisions… If you have any thoughts on the pockets, I'd love to hear!
What a fun project! It sort of reminds me of this Target Coffee Shop coat I'm loving: http://www.target.com/p/coffee-shop-petites-outerwear-peacoat-gray-black/-/A-14602675#prodSlot=medium_1_22
ReplyDeleteLeather flaps! That sounds like a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove the mix of gray fleece with leather! I'd say little leather accents on the pockets but then again, what do I know :)? Go with your gut!
ReplyDeleteI actually really like how it looks with the leather pockets! If it were mine, I'd keep it this way. : ) Really cool project!
