Cutting the fabric.

After deconstructing the skirt I was left with two panels.. This skirt was one of the first garments I made for my self. It just didn't look right on me. I think it was because the fabric was to stiff. It was made from two panels. When deconstructed I was left with two rectangular panels, the frontside wider than the backside. I wanted to make a coat from it for my girl and used a basic cardigan pattern for it. Because the panels were wider than needed I added some pleats in the front and back to give the coat a bit more structure.

 

Instructions: 

Instructions aren't to bad, but copying the pieces from the pattern sheet is very difficult. All sizes have the same linetype and sheets are pretty full.

Fit:

As expected and a bit oversized
