Louisa Coat – Barbara Steynen

When I saw the Louisa Coat pattern I immediately fell in love with it. I like everything about it: the pockets, the lines, the length, the options, … I already planned on making a winter coat for my daughters this year, so I knew it was going to be this one. I chose a gorgeous blue winter fabric with some glitter in it (from Mondepot), and combined with some fresh icy blue piping and ribbing. I chose  a very colourful and bright Art Gallery fabric as lining. I added a hole for the thumbs in the ribbing, one detail that my daughter loves the very most about this coat! I did struggle with making the coat, but I absolutely adore the result, and I think it looks great on my daughter :-) And the best part is that she’s very much in love with it herself!
