Another vintage coat…

April 10, 2022 / Cissi_555

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).

Creatures in squares

As some of you may know, I have created quite a few patterns on the theme “creatures in squares”. Here is a small sample of some of them. I am still experimenting on the context and new patterns.

Some of them can be found in my design section.

Autumn inspiration

I finished off this last belt in record time. Only one week from set-up to completion. I drafted alot of new designs these last months and now I got the chance to try some of them. In addition to the moose and birds, I am quite fond of my pack of dogs, with 3 puppies in tow. I think I will extend it and make more next time.

Then we have another family, but not sure if it is birds or possibly dinosaurs. I like them as well, expecially the bulky bodies.

The complete belt:

Here are some more design elements. I will add some of the turning patterns to the design page.
