DESIGN WITH ME: VINTAGE BOY COAT. PART three: altering pattern pieces

Photos late at night. Ill explain it, and in the next part it will become clearer.

Changing front.

In the front I drew how large I wanted the overlap to be. I thought 4 cm from the centre would look good and be practial. The overlap is 8 cm then.

I drew in where I wanted the welt pockets and where buttons would go.

I drew the facing as well. The facing around the neck will also be 4 cm.

Changing back

In stead of cutting the back on the fold, I added a seam over the center and I added a vent. The height of the vent is lower back.

Also added a facing to the neck.

Changing sleeves.

This particular pattern I lengthened the sleeves 5 cm.

Added a facing to the neck opening and around the wrists.

Added collar.

I drew the curve of the neck opening and made the collar curve with a larger radius so the collar would stand up a bit.

I made the edges in 90 degrees.

The coat side length of the collar is measured from the pattern pieces.
