I wanted to have a coat and dress to wear to my brothers at Christmas, however, I started the coat, then had the idea of the dress and the coat didn’t get finished! It was one of those makes I couldn’t get inspired to finish!
Here is the The Petersham
When I got home I forced myself to get on and make it.
It is from a Prima pattern and I first made it here
I have worn it lots of times and someone has always paid me a compliment. As it was one of my first blog makes it is not lined, so I decided to line The Richmond to make it easier to get my arms in! I absolutely hate linings but decided to persevere! I love the collar and the pockets!
I bought the matching hat after seeing Charlotte wearing hers! She looked fabulous! Sadly, my teenage daughter refuses to go out with me in it! Embarrassing for her! Haha
Pattern: Prima Magazine Swing Coat
Fabric: 2.5 metres wool mix coating, 2m lining, large button all from Fletchers Fabrics,York
Wonky Factor: 8/10 I like it but think fitted coats are better on me. It is nice and warm though! I also had problems with the button being so big…..my one step buttonhole would not work!!
Hat from Accessorise
I ❤️hats!

This is one of my favourite things you have made. I love the shape, the colour the texture, everything. It is sometimes harder to wear a silhouette that you’re are not used to. And do wear the hat with it. Incredibly stylish. Don’t let those teenagers have the last say on everything. There are masses of faux fur hats around at the moment!

Lucky the bushfires in VIC are about 3 hours away from Melbourne. They were pretty bad. The other states have had it bad with bushfires as well. Makes me glad that I live in the city not the country. I am living in front of the air conditioner staying cool. No crafting going on. 🙂

Looks great, lovely colour and detail in the fabric you’ve chosen. I think it really suits you. I have to wear much slimmer and simpler things under the swing(ish) coat I have, so maybe it’s a matter of a good try on 🙂 I’d brazen the hat out!

Thank you! 💝 it is lined in burgundy as I didn’t have enough of the cotton fabric. It would have looked great with it as a full lining!
