Made by a Fabricista: Winter is coming!
When I was browsing on Fabric Mart's amazing selections, I couldn't help but drool over the gorgeous coating by Michael Kors. I love the designer fabric choices on the website. Also, the price point of this amazing fabric made this a no-brainer for me. I simply had to make another winter coat.
I live in the northern plains of the US and we can have winter coat weather from October until April or May. That means, I need to have many choices for a winter coat. Just having one or two is boring in my book! I have numerous coats, most of which are made from FM's selection of coating.
It appears this Michael Kors Coating color I used is all sold out, however there are some pretty choices here: Coating
You can see from the inside of the hood, I used a pretty floral for the lining. I just love pretty lining fabrics. This one has so many pretty colors in it and it's a floral, so it was love for me!
Here's a view of the inside. Isn't that just pretty? Please don't judge me on the fact that the top I am wearing and the lining don't coordinate. I didn't give a second thought to my coordination until I saw my photos! This pretty lining too is sold out, but you might find some nice choices here: Lining options more options I've even used these fabrics for a lining: Voile
If you are interested, here is a link to the pattern I used. Colette Albion jacket
I am very happy with my new coat. I hope you are staying safe, enjoying some fall/winter sewing, and happy and content with this strange place we are all in due to the pandemic.
Happy sewing!

What a gorgeous coat! If I saw that in a store I’d buy it in a minute!
Love your coat! You look lovely!
Love your coat. The color is terrific too.
I totally get the winter coat wardrobe—different colors, different lengths, different activities, different temperature ranges . When you're out and about, people see your coat, not your inside clothes.
