So I'm going to be starting a new project from one of the patterns that I got at Creative Reuse. Vintage pattern Butterick 6418. I have been searching everywhere for a housecoat pattern that I could make that was one with a shape and not just a giant shapeless blob. I've been on this mission ever since I saw this post on
Polka Polish. I've been lusting after this coat for a year, her use of floral satin with a fleece lining was so stunning and I knew I had to make one for myself. so now that I've finally tracked down a pattern it's time that I put my hands to work.
Since it's already Spring and we should all be hoping for some kind of warm weather I decided to go with a much brighter floral pattern than She did, and also so that I can feel comfortable wearing it well into Spring and Summer I am going to line it with a flannel back satin. The pattern that I got my hands on is unfortunately a 50s size 12 which is a waist measurement of 25" which I can confidently say I am not. so I am going to do some resizing before I cut any of the satin which won't be a huge deal.
here is a sneak peak at the project!!
