I have a Lee Andersen coat that I love and I decided to use it as inspiration for another coat. Finding fabrics that I could use proved to be quite a challenge. I finally found a black nubby fleece and red and black sculpted fur at Fields in Kalamazoo. I found a red and black fur online at Mood Fabrics. Once I had all the fabrics, I set to work on a pattern. I heavily modified a Burda Pattern so much that you wouldn't even recognize it but the sizing was what I needed most. It is unlined so that it will be an intermediate weight coat for late fall and early winter. I made mock flat felled seams and serged seams so that the inside of the coat is neat in appearance.
I found it very difficult to photograph the black and still be able to see the detail so I have included a couple of close up photos. Enjoy.
