.... and a view of the back

I set out to make my own version using this existing plain denim trench coat, bought at a sample sale a while back, boucle, lace and perforated denim scraps all left from previous projects. I used sashiko and catch stitches to patch them on.
Wrestling the heavy coat was no fun though, I may or may not add some more patches at the back. At the moment my hands are aching from 2 weeks of hand stitching in every free minute I had. I’m rather pleased with the result and had just enough unicorn buttons left for the project
I decided to put on fake yokes to make it look more like a classic trench coat.

Given the speed in which the boucle and perforated denim frayed, I decided that catch stitching the edges would be the best option.
