After sewing my green coat from a 1950-pattern, I felt inspired to sew a 70’s coat with fluffy lining. So I found this pattern from 1975 on eBay and decided to use up some of my medieval fabric stash (diamond kypert?). I also bought some faux/fake fur (black curly, like a small lamb) for lining of the coat. I did use some regular lining in the arms though.
And here is the finished coat. Maybe not quite as stylish on me as on the super-thin models, but I still like it.
I have to add that sewing in faux fur is not ideal. It is slippery and the house gets full of “fluff” that sticks to everything (including your face and arms).
