last year i saw a coat on russian burda site
and fell in love with it
so i had to try making a similar one
..
as the russian lady, who sewed the coat that inspired me,
i used top of the burda magazine coat 10/2013, #130
with half circle skirt for the bottom part..
she was smarter, though, and lengthened bodice pieces by 7cm
(it's petite size pattern)
i totally forgot to do that
and by the time i realized i made that mistake
i had all my pieces cut
and only tiniest of scraps left
..
the result is that the coat sits way above my waist
and makes me look kind of pregnant..
also, sleeves could use few more cms of length
..
dunno what i'm doing in the pic above
but i found it hilarious and had to include it here
i actually used last scraps of coat fabric
to make matching fabric covered buttons
but then i gave up that idea
and went for sew on snaps instead of buttons
