Title: The Brooklyn coat..
Post by: Efemera on March 01, 2017, 16:33:58 PM
Well here it is..
It's a wadder and it's in the bin..the fabric was great, grey jersey one side and leather look on the other but sewing it with just lapped raw seams isn't my thing besides that it's huge across the shoulders (tried shortening but to no avail)..on the whole just not a good look for me. Thankfully the fabric wasn't expensive. £2 a meter from The Church.
When will I learn not to make up patterns with dropped shoulders!

Oh no - fabric in the bin. Pity you can't do something with it. Think you might need another trip to 'the Church'.

Noooooooooooo, I am sure the fabric can be rescued for something else.  Take it out of the bin and put it aside.
