The sewjo went missing for a while so I started planning projects for fall/winter. You know I did not look toward the stash for the fabrics. The pattern has been stashed for a while. Here is the pattern:
This is the Octave Coat pattern by Love Notions. When this pattern was released, I was very drawn to the jacket with the faux fur collar. I have decided to do a relatively lightweight coat/jacket. I have a coat for extreme cold which does not last long here. I do not have a coat for mild weather. I can make my own. Here is the fabric:
This is a loopy polyester/rayon fabric. I was very happy when this fabric arrived. It would be great as pants/jacket/skirt. No visible right side either. I am considering using a solid fabric for the collar. This is one that I recently purchased on a whim:
This is a vegan leather. I have one yard and I do not know if that is enough for the collar. It might work and it might not.
Here is the lining fabric:
I was sad to find out that the company that made my favorite lining is no longer in business. This fabric is the Sunline Anti-Static Lining Fabric from JoAnn. I purchased 2 1/2 yards. Care is Machine Wash Cold, Line Dry. I have not used this lining before. Hope it is good.I guess the next step is to do a muslin of the pattern. I think that I might have some bits and pieces of canvas hanging around from other muslins. I am mainly concerned with the bust placement and the sleeve size. I want the coat to have enough ease that I can wear a sweater under it.
One thing I know for sure is that the coat muslin will not get started until I finish my summer clothes.
Happy Stitching!
