A coat



The pattern is from the Finnish sewing magazine Suuri Käsityökerho. It was relatively easy to sew, but I have admit I had huge problems in sleeve fitting. Fortunately I got brilliant advice from a prof how to do it at the end.  The sleeves were huge in size compared to the hole were they maent to be fitted...
I'm very pleased with the pattern, colour and the fitting, but my choice for the material could have been more for outerwear purposes. If it is very windy or rainy, you get cold in this jacket, so it is meant only for sunny and still sunny days.
