Antes de nada, quiero agradeceros a todas las que dejasteis vuestras sugerencias el la entrada sobre la muselina. Gracias por la ayuda, y los buenos deseos.
Before I start going on about the making of this coat, I´d like to thank you for all the suggestions and the good wishes you left me in the muslin entry. Thanks for the help!
-Me he hinchado de hilvanar, es que lo he hilvanado TO-DO!
-He leido muchos tutoriales, luego os dejo los enlaces.
-He constatado que planchar costuras con un pañito entre la plancha y la tela es un engorro necesario. Pero engorro.
It´s been very interesting. I always avoid sewing thick fabric. My presser-foot doesn´t like it, specially if I want to make button holes. This time I put a lot of effort into it:
-I basted, E-VE-RY-THING!
-I read lots of tutorials, some of them very useful (I´ll leave the links later)
-I realize how important it is to iron with a cloth. And what a pain in the bum, too!

Descripción: (Traducida de Burdastyle.com)
Este adorable abrigo es de la diseñadora Gabrielle Strehle cuyo trabajo se basa en la pureza, claridad y naturalidad. El abriguito negro para uso diario. Cruzado, levemente acampanado, con costuras laterales perfectamente formadas y clasicas mangas de dos piezas. Los bolsillos de plastrón con solapas redondeadas son una adorable adición.
Tallas: 36-44
¿Una vez terminado, se parece a la foto de la revista? Idéntico
¿Fueron las instrucciones fáciles de seguir? Pues sí. Sorprendentemente buenas. Las seguí al dedillo excepto los ojales. Ah y las mangas. No usé el método de fruncir la copa porque no me sale bien, lo hice así, con los alfileres y despues hilvanando antes de coser.
| attaching the sleeve |
Material: Género esponjoso de lana ( y poliester) algodon para el forro. Vivo para ribetear los bolsillos, botones.
Cambios efectuados en el patrón o diseño: Solo he cambiado los ojales normales por ribeteados. Me ha divertido mucho aprender esta técnica y he usado el método de Coletterie. Me convenció, por que cortaba los cuadraditos para formar el ribete al biés, y al estirarlo con la plancha abultaba menos. Muy bueno.
| The making of the buttonholes Proceso botonil |
El ribete del bolsillo no lo pedía, pero por pasadas experiencias tenia miedo de que asomarra el forro del bolsillo entre tanta negrura.

Conclusión: Se que voy a poner este abrigo un montón. Es cómodo y calentito. Y me lo he pasado pipa cosiendolo.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, mine is black too.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Surprisingly good for Burda. I followed them religiously except for the button holes.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the simple lines, the double brest (reminds me of a sailor coat) the lenght, the sleeves. The collar is quite clever too. It is a two piece collar that looks like it is single. The least favourite feature are the pockets
Fabric Used: Brushed wool (with a percentage of polyester) Cotton for the lining, piping for the pockets and flaps. Buttons
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made bound button-holes and I enjoyed learning how to make them. I used the Coletterie method. I think it is quite smart: The squares for bounding are cut on the bias, then ironed so they are not too bulky.
I also piped the pockets and the flaps. From previous expeciences I knew the lining was going to show in some places if I didn´t

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I don´t think I´ll sew this again, but I recommend it whole-heartedly
Conclusion: Love my new coat! I know I´m going to get a lot of wear from it, and most importantly I´ve enjoyed a lot making it!
