This pattern is 100 YEARS OLD! | Following a 1920s Coat Pattern
And so coatmas beings! It's a week later than I had planned, but it is finally up. And should be followed by two more videos in the coming weeks on constructing another two coats to add into my coatdrobe (that is totally a word).
I added the June credits to this video - I have to double check, but I think I'm through the backlog now and my next two videos will include the credits for October and November. Thank you all so much for your patience and support! <3
I'm still catching up on messages from the last week but should get back to all of them this weekend - and speaking of that, I hope all of you have excellent weekends! I'll spend mine trying to get my Christmas costume done...gosh time passes quickly these days!!

1920s clothing has a hard time looking good on anyone. That said, the side gores add a lot to the overall shape and styling, making this a better option than simpler designs. Your cloche is an inspired addition! Looking forward to more coats. I have not worked much with thicker fabric, so your experiences with it are helpful. I'm sorry to hear that Posy is not well. I will not let that little face down!
I’m sorry you’ve been going through all this. 🥺 Posy is lucky to have you.
Wow. Love the color of the coat! Beautiful!
That is a very nice coat, I also have not liked the 1920 fashions but this one is going to be a favourite. Both the shape and colour are lovely. I hope you enjoy wearing this.
I used the same flannel in my son’s coat. The outer is made with ‘army’ blankets. 😉
Oh Angela, I'm so sorry Posy has got cancer, I just finished watching your last video where you say you'd just noticed the lumps on her tummy and now the news is the worst. I'm really sorry. Since Posy has to go through it, the bright side is that you will give her the best possible life she can have while she can. I'm worried now that in making the other coats, you might end up always associating them with all this awfulness afterwards, and what if you can't wear them? That would be so sad. I think this coat is lovely, and you look absolutely 1920s from top to toe in it.
I'm barely three minutes in and I have to say I LOVE the dino sweater!!
I LOVE your festive dinosaur sweater! As for the coat, I think it is more flattering than you gave it credit for (and the topstitching wasn't very noticeable from a normal person distance), it had kind of a glam vibe. Finally, I am glad Posey has you. Fate definitely brought her to your family so she could have someone to love her through illness.
LOVE the coat!! Those colors 😘👌 I'll admit though, i cringed when you said you used seche vite... Nail polish isn't formulated for crafts so i hope your buttons hold up ok. Clear gloss medium is your friend next time!
Oh, your new dog has cancer? I'm so sorry for that. You have really had a fire dumpster of a year! Be gone 2020, we've all had enough of you! Big hugs to Posey. I like how the coat turned out. As you said, the 1920s isn't the most flattering silhouette. For all of the hurdles this coat threw at you, you handled them very well and did a great job!!! Stay safe. Sending best wishes to you and yours from Down Under ❤️🌺🇦🇺😎
The coat looks really nice! Those are definitely great colors for you!
