I started this coat more than a month ago and abandoned it for warm weather projects. Now that the temps are a little cool and the skies are cloudy, I decided to revive it. For this particular coat, I wanted to try an A-line silhouette and shortened the hem to give it a little balance on my short stature. If you are a longtime reader, you may recognize this fabric from the
capelet DIY :)
A-Line Coat DIY
Difficulty: Easy-Intermediate
Time: ~3 hours
Pattern: Butterick
B5822 B (minus the funnel neck, but still contemplating if I should add it - thoughts?), narrowed frame, took up the length, snap closure
Materials: 2 yards of fabric - heavy woven from Joann's
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
What a fun print for a coat! I like it in this A-line coat more than the capelet (which is still cute too)! I love statement coats!
