Name:<\/strong> Shams
\nWhere can we find you on the internet?<\/strong> Blog<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, Pinterest<\/a><\/p>\n

Project details<\/strong>
\nLink to your project:<\/strong> Leopard Brocade Coat<\/a>
\nPattern used:<\/strong> Lisette for Butterick B6385<\/a>
\nFabric used:<\/strong> Reversible Italian Leopard Print Brocade from Britex. It’s lined with silk charmeuse, and edges are bound with silk twill. The buttons are also from Britex.<\/p>\n

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

Yes! This fabric was a complete delight to sew and press, and raveled minimally for a brocade. The fabric design features a large repeating print that I wanted to use symmetrically. I had three yards and the pattern calls for 3-1\/8 yards in my size (not accounting for pattern matching), so I had to cut it out very carefully. I used the darker side of the reversible fabric for most of the coat, and the silvery side for the collars, back yoke, and facings.<\/p>\n

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

I had already altered the pattern for fit when I made it the last time. This time I used a number of couture techniques. For example, I made shoulder pads and sleeve heads from wool fleece. I closed the coat with covered snaps; the buttons are decorative. One half of each snap is covered with brocade, and the other half is covered with silk charmeuse. I used Kathryn Brenne’s technique for no-bulk side seam pockets, and the lining is set by hand.<\/p>\n

I also made some minor pattern changes to accommodate the print. I cut the collar in half horizontally to make a separate inner and outer collar. I cut the back yoke in half vertically and cut each half on the bias.<\/p>\n

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

Wearing it, of course! The coat fits perfectly and is a dream to slip on, thanks to the silk charmeuse lining. Because I used couture techniques with lots of hand sewing, it was not a quick sew. I love this pattern; it’s now an official TnT for me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
