Tutorial - New Coats

You can get the cut of the coat from Burda Style 8/2011. All you need is (size 36): 1,80 m long and 1,50 m broad fabrick with two nice sides; 0,30 m twill binding; yarn; cut paper, overlock machine and a sewing machine.

First you have to cut the fabric, be careful if it is striped, because sometimes stripes and straight grain is not the same!

Then you have to close the side-seams. Because of the knitwear, I do this with an overlock-machine.

  After this you have to close the short sleave-seams.

Now you can sew the sleeves at the front- and the backpart.

After this you close the shoulder- and the upper sleeves seams. Now you iron the seam allowance of the sleeves hems inside and handsew it. Fasten the twill binding at the neckline and you´re almost ready.

At least serge the hem and the flounces with an overlock-machine and ready is your new coat.
