Mariluz

Chloe was in need of a new Spring and Autumn weight coat as the last one I made her (which lasted two years) had got too small. I had seen the Mariluz pattern and liked it's cut, so decided although the instruction are in German only, to have a go. Inspired by having replaced the zip in a coat for one of Chloe's lovely teachers I also decided to interline the coat with volume fleece for extra warmth, as the outer is a very fine and soft babycord and the lining is cotton poplin. I don't think I've ever spent five days making anything before, and I also don't think I shall try sewing with metallic thread again (well maybe in the bobbin), but I'm very pleased I did.....
