While making my weekly visit to the fabric store I noticed a whole wall of vibrant colored felt bolts. I never considered felt for clothes only crafts but thought it would make a very lively light weight coat. I also discovered there are several types of felt including a wool felt which is most commonly used for garments. Because I had never made a coat before I didn’t want to shell out the money for wool felt in case it didn’t go as planned so I opted for the regular felt on sale. During the sewing process all I could think of was that I really love working with felt and that this would look amazing with the wool felt which is a richer fabric. Overall I’m pretty pleased with how it came together. I used New Look pattern 6163 with the following alterations:
1. Slit sleeve with added buttons
2. Left out the slits on the side of the jacket and added one in the back
3. Added pleated shoulders
