Sew along: Violet Field Threads: Valentina Coat (nr 4)

The idea

My forth!!!Valentina coat will be made from this stretch flaush. I bought the fabric for a coat for me, bought half a meter extra to make her a winter coat for next winter.

The pattern

The Valentina is a stunning dress coat that features a dramatic high-low hem in two lengths, short and long. Valentina features a cozy and fashionable funnel collar and optional waist sash

Valentina is fully lined, making it beautiful inside and out. It can be made out of warm wool, velvets or a lighter weight fabric for different climates.

Cutting the fabric.

I mistook the amount I needed for my swing coat, so it was a bit of a puzzle, but I made it. 

First day of sewing, outer shell.
