Sewist: Connie

Project:	Child's coat
Fabric:	100% wool coating
Lining:	100% rayon with 100% cotton stripe piping
Closures:	Buttons from AAF
Pattern:	OOP Burda child's coat
Notes:	Connie is a great sewist with whom I have had the pleasure of sewing for the last 36 years! Often, she sews for her grandchildren and this coat she made for Julia is truly a masterpiece. Made from an unusual piece of Italian wool embellished with variegated yarns, this coat has large bound buttonholes made from 4 different contrasting fabrics which match the colors of the large buttons. The lining and piping add whimsical touches to this beautiful creation which was obviously made with lots of love!
