Notes:	This beautiful wool AAF #2571 velour-like coat was made by Liz P. in our Monday sewing class for her daughter Olivia. Liz chose Burda pattern 8292 (the ultimate!),made a few muslins, and then was off to the races. She chose a fabulous printed silk lining #1274 which she underlined with a lightweight cotton flannel for extra warmth. Unusual buttons and perfectly executed bound buttonholes also make this stunning coat a real standout. Thanks to Liz’s expert tailoring and sewing skills, the finished coat fits Olivia beautifully and will keep her warm and stylish for years to come.
