This one's a work in progress that I've been pondering for some time after a friend gave me a couple of metres of the most fabulous wool bouclé last year.
I'm making #116 from Burda 12/2020; the bouclé is the main fabric and I have some light royal blue cotton velvet for the contrast. There's nothing shy and retiring about this coat and I intend to wear it at every opportunity!
Although the bouclé is fluffy and lofty, its not a densely woven fabric so I will stabilise it with lightweight fusible. I was concerned that it might shrink during fusing, so I hovered a steam iron over it a couple of days ago and left it to dry.
Today, I'm cutting out and paying careful attention to placement of the checks to make sure that they line up. There is a deep back yoke that I will cut on the diagonal and front breast pockets that absolutely must match with the underneath main front piece.
I haven't quite decided on my lining yet. I will cut the main pieces and get them fused first then see where my whims take me.
Here's the fabric and magazine pattern.
