→ To the pattern “Lara”

Required material:

We recommend Walkware, thick knit fabric or faux fur.

Size 34-42 outer fabric 2.00 m 140cm wide
Size 34-42 lining fabric 1.70 m 140cm wide
Size 44-50 outer fabric 2.40 m 140cm wide
Size 44-50 lining fabric 1.95 m 140cm wide
Size 34-50 hooks and eyes 5 pieces sew on by hand

cutting:

Cut out the pattern pieces from your outer fabric and lining. Lay the fabric right side up. Lay the selvedges parallel to the center so that you can place the facing in the fold. The pattern pieces should all be face up. Always align the grain arrow on all pieces in the same direction and parallel to the selvedge of the fabric. Transfer all the notches from the pattern through a 3mm long incision with scissors or chalk. Pinch the seam allowance in the fold of the fabric because this is always a center. Markings define positions of dart ends, pocket positions, etc. Transfer these either with chalk or pins.

A few words about the choice of material:

  • If you're using faux fur for the coat, you'll only cut off the bottom of the fabric and not the hair. Also, it cannot be ironed.
  • Some fabrics, such as boiled wool, have a nice wrong side. With these, you can omit the lining and trim the seams with the overlock or edging with a bias binding.
  • If you want to use fur, you have to comb out the finished seams with a comb on the right side of the fabric to pull the hair out of the seam.
  • If you decide on a wool fabric, you should definitely glue the inserts to the parts according to the pattern (including the neck and armholes).
  • With some fabrics - as in this example - it is sufficient to provide the edges with an ironable forming tape according to the pattern.

You need from fabric:

  • 1x front piece in opposite directions
  • 1x reverse part
  • 1x sleeve opposite
  • 1x front document opposite
  • 1x back document in breakage
  • Depending on the choice of fabric, iron-on fleece or ironable forming tape
  • 6 eyelets and hooks

You need from feed:

  • 1x front piece in opposite directions
  • 1x back in break
  • 1x sleeve opposite
  • 2x pocket bags in opposite directions

You will need a sewing machine to sew this coat.

In addition to the description, the colorful lines in the pictures show you where a seam needs to be sewn or something to be glued.
