Instead of a zipper I am using buttons now. Works much better.The story of the ill thought through winter coat came to a finish! What I did in the end is chuck the outer shell and sew a new one size bigger. I just couldn't give up the idea of my lovely, furry
fluff inside and I also need a warm coat. January is supposed to be bitter cold! Sure I still look like my coat is pimped.. But I can pull it off... I think... yeah! OK.
And HAHA I have to tell you, I should have sewed in an extra pocket for a lint brush! I take the coat off and I am covered in fuzz. Another interesting thing is, that I sewed the new outer shell out of material that I believe hair salons use to make the capes that they drape over you? It crackles funny and I thought I would be really loud walking down the street but maybe the fur muffles the sound? ... I am probably just cracking myself up here. That's OK, I know I am a dork!
Anyhow, I am actually really happy with the end result. It is so much easier to sew for children but sometimes we just need cool stuff ourselves right? The jacket is Jadela and the shirt that I am wearing is Bertina (awesome fit!) with some of this Campan .
Thanks for laughing with me!!!

I love the Bertina shirt. I have this pattern but haven't made it yet. How does it run in the bust?
Fabulous!!! I really liked your original idea and I agree it looks very funky and fun! I am glad you made it work. I think the end result is very cool and euro! I like the ribbon trim? on there to! Well done!
Jen, it is always good to take measurements first. I compared my measurement with what size was given and it was a perfect fit! Also it is very easy to sew :)
Caroline the ribbon is nice huh? I wonder though how long it is going to be before I can wear the coat without being covered in fuzz lol!
