Mak­ing match­ing jack­ets with my nieces has become an annu­al tra­di­tion. This year Gigi request­ed a dinosaur jack­et. This was a tall order espe­cial­ly since bomber jack­ets with dinosaur appliqués was not an option. There­fore I had to be a bit more cre­ative with the lim­it­ed mate­ri­als and time I had available. I decid­ed upon burnt orange/brown tweed wool with sequins, which remained from a pre­vi­ous pur­chase in NYC. I...

Charcoal Wool and navy leather 1 2011 126 Burdastyle sewing pattern winter coat

 Last Octo­ber, I made a navy cash­mere and leather coat for one of my dear­est friends. I would not call it a suc­cess. Since this first coat did not turn out as I had hoped, I sim­ply had to design a new ver­sion of the win­ter coat!
