While
most parts of the country are still enjoying some chilly spring weather, here
in Houston it’s warming up so my outing to the Art with Heart Gala last night
may have been my last opportunity this season to wear the fabulous spring coat I made.
This glam trench is another in the series of Wardrobe Basics by Roz at Sew Much Fabric.
We selected a beautiful mid-weight metallic gold stretch linen with
accents of a cream and gold brocade. The
pattern is from the 02/2017 Burda Style magazine, #103. The suggested coat in
the magazine is unlined but I drafted a lining for mine using a lovely rayon
lining also from SMF.
I
looked and looked for just the right buttons and they were under my nose the
whole time! I made covered buttons using the brocade. And not only are they the
perfect accent they were a cinch to make.
I
had never drafted a coat lining before so I’m sorta proud of the this one. I
even kicked it up a notch and added piping!
I
know I will get a lot of wear out of this great basic with its neutral-with-a-kick color palette and timeless design. All fabrics still available at Sew Much
Fabric so hurry over!
Love this! It's a wonderful spring coat and the great thing is that it will be perfect for fall when it arrives too.
