Autumn Coat

Autumn Coat by ippuvFinally something for me! I've been thinking of making a coat for myself for a while, and finally located a pattern I really liked. It's actually for a raincoat, but I loved the slight A-line of the coat and decided to make it as a regular coat for the autumn (or for spring for that matter).

The coat was pretty easy to make, no big problems. I added a thin micro fleece lining but otherwise followed the pattern. Oh, and I made it at least two sizes smaller in width, because the pattern was absolutely huge for my thinnish shape. I lined the hood, pockets and front with a floral fabric (must check what it is).
