Pattern for a coat
jynclr   Advanced Beginner TX USA Member since 12/20/11 Posts: 839	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 9/5/12 6:25 PM I am looking for a pattern for this coat: http://www.thedarkangel.co.uk/en/product/477-anastasia-coat I've found this Butterick's pattern: http://butterick.mccall.com/b5425-products-10530.php?page_id=872 But it doesn't have the hood, it's not as long, and the back is different. Would anyone know of any other coat patterns like the first coat? Thank you. -- Edited on 9/5/12 6:27 PM -- ------ Evelyn: Pfaff Creative Performance Helen V: Babylock Companion BL1550

If you cannot draft your own hood you'll have to find another pattern that does have a hood and combine the patterns. The back lacing shouldn't be too hard to figure out. I can't see how they are working the lacing, but you might add a flange into the back darts, or seams, were there princess seams? and add grommets to this piece to add your laces to. ------ www.nancyksews.blogspot.com

There are costumes of capes with hoods. I think I may grab one of those. And now that I think about it, the Simplicity Steampunk Coat costume has the same lacing on the back. I've made that outfit and so I know how to create loops for the lacing in the back. I also remember that I picked up the Neo (The Matrix) coat costume pattern. I think I can use that one also. :) I was kind of hoping not to have to draft my own hood, but I don't think it'll be too difficult to add a hood. ------ Evelyn: Pfaff Creative Performance Helen V: Babylock Companion BL1550
