Ellen's Sewing Passion

I have been to Japan several times, and I fell in love with this coat pattern when I saw it, but unfortunately it took a while before I found the right fabric and moment to make it. I have used double-sided chinese brocade and black linen for the other parts.  - and microsatin for the lining. I used underlayer (vliseline) on both the upper part and  the facing of the black linen so it should be stiff enough. The upper part of the black linen are stitched to the front and back panels. The sleeves are stitched together on the one side,  and the the lower part of the lining that are made of linen. The sleeves looks very nice. This is the lining for the coat. I have used black painted snap-buttons. I'm very Happy with how the project turned out💗 The Dress-Coat is finished, and I'm very proud of the result :) BurdaStyle 

 This was the last curtain left of my red linen curtains... I love linen and since the curtain only was faded on the wrong side it was great to use. I found the kimono pattern in Simpicity Easy no. 3/2019  I have used the eyelets as decoration for the front upper part, and think it's a unique detail 👀 The pattern is very easy to sew with the sleeves together with the front and back panel, but I like the peplum witch are lower in front and higher at the back. I have used a double layer to finish the sleeve hem.
