Last year the Lisette for Butterick B6244 coat pattern was released and it was a big hit! You\u2019ll find the sew-along for it right here<\/a>. It has been a very popular make and we\u2019ve already featured so many wonderful versions<\/a> (including some sleeveless), but today we have yet another one sewn by the talented Emily.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nDid the fabric work well?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. There is a nice drape to the fabric, which lends itself well to the design of the pattern. My fabric wasn’t heavy or thick to begin with, but it was too much for a flat fell seam and narrow hem–where those two elements met became too thick and bulky. That was the only drawback; otherwise, it was perfect for this project.<\/p>\n

\nHow did the sewing go?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sewing was straightforward, and the sewing instructions were clear and easy to follow. The flat fell seams look clean and professional but they also created some bulk, making the hem a challenge. Sewing a flat fell seam in the sleeve was also difficult, so I ended up serging one of them. This made a difference when I went to serge the armscye seams as well. I found that a narrow hem affected the drape of my fabric, and it didn’t look quite as clean as I would have liked so I frayed the edges instead.<\/p>\n

\nWhat was the best part?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The finished product! This particular project is quite different from the garments I normally sew, but it became an instant favorite the moment I put it on. I’ve been wanting a wool cardigan coat just like this for some time, so it’s safe to say I’m beyond happy with it. And although linen isn’t among the suggested fabrics for this design, I think it would be gorgeous in that fabric for spring. I will make this again, for sure!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
