Typically made from breathable cotton or a polyester-cotton blend, the chef coat provides ample protection against kitchen hazards while maintaining a polished appearance.Dale Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07761474929107022471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173179849477212303.post-71380648353066825292017-02-03T22:57:42.603+01:002017-02-03T22:57:42.603+01:00Coat making is so much fun!

Can't wait to see it! I tend to overthink my jacket projects and I could use a few more. Time for a new approach to speed things up a bit!Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144010556887549717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173179849477212303.post-24148316140351127982017-02-01T11:00:15.263+01:002017-02-01T11:00:15.263+01:00How interesting!

For my winter coat I used up all kinds of interfacing remnants, whatever felt like the right weight and was around went in. I didn't do it by the book but the hybrid-speed-fantasy-tailoring went well this time. O, and I found the perfect way to recover: I watched Susan Khalje's Couture lace skirt class. All smiles now!Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144010556887549717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173179849477212303.post-57555282447086865472017-02-01T00:19:28.782+01:002017-02-01T00:19:28.782+01:00I hope you recover soon - root canal treatment is ...I hope you recover soon - root canal treatment is awful. I enjoyed hearing the details of construction and if course looking forward to seeing the modelled finished garment. I'm just starting my jacket construction journey.

As a fan of coats - and sewing them - this was a wonderful post to read and study. I find silk organza my best friend when it comes to coat construction - and that flannel is a wonderful component, too. Thanks for taking the time to share the details - and I hope you recover quickly and are soon all smiles! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
