My New Coat: Marfy 1974

fabricateandmira

With great pride, I wish to share with you my beautiful new coat from Marfy pattern #1974:

Fabric:

  • Taupe wool jacquard from Pendleton
  • Underlined with polished wool – i.e. men’s plaid suit fabric
  • Faced with brown wool
  • Trimmed with lambswool
  • Lined with Asian print, underlined with cotton gauze

Consistent with Marfy’s approach to provide pattern pieces without instructions, the following is a photo diary of the process.  Besides, this post is for my kindrid spirit whose wish to see the details more than to hear the story.  Enjoy!

Construction:

Underlined with polished wool and linen for shoulder stabilization
Welt pockets
Bound buttonholes
Velvet pockets
Fur collar with stand

Resulted in:

Back
Back yoke detail
Collar stand
Bound buttonhole
Facing, window for inside of buttonhole, velvet piping
Bone buttons and lining
Fur cuff
One more time

Thank you for visiting.
