A Els (Obrigada Els!) fez-me uma sugestão fantástica! No seu comentário forneceu-me o link para este download grátis da Burda:
Els (Thank you Els!) left a comment suggesting this bag (Burda free download):
É a carteira ideal para este casaco e como me sobrou vivo vou tentar encontrar o mesmo tecido ou semelhante para fazer esta carteira!
This is the perfect bag for the Orwell Coat! I still have some piping left and I will try to find some of the same fabric or a similar one; I'm definitely going to make this beautiful bag!

Também bordei à mão uma etiqueta para o casaco:
I also hand made a label for this coat:
Espero que tenham gostado! Quero agradecer a todas o apoio, os comentários de encorajamento e o facto de terem partilhado este projecto comigo! Dedico este casaco a todas vós!

Quem me dera costurar um décimo do que tu costuras... mas sou um zero na costura (e a minha avó era modista de roupas de cerimónia, mas eu não herdei a paciência e o jeito!) O casaco está espectacular e perfeitíssimo!

Vou dar uma volta pelo teu blogue a ver se tens alguma sugestão de projectos simples para principiantes!

Stunning, amazing, impeccable! Congratulations Tany! I love reading your blog. It's one of my favourites. Your attention to detail and tailoring skills are to be admired. Thanks for taking the time to share and document your journey. I enjoyed reading every little step. I hope you wear the coat for many, many years and don't mind being stopped in the street by admirers. :)

I am overwhelmed by the quality of your work, it's superb, such elegant details!

Do you sew 'out of season,' ie, did you decide to make this coat for next fall / winter, or are you wearing it now? I'm thinking of starting my first major coat project now, to have ready for fall '07.

LauraLo said...

I must make such a coat!

Bem, eu sou o Marido da Mamamartinho e acho que um casaco destes para homem ia ser um fenómeno e passava a moda. Muitos parabéns, a Mónica foi-me esplicando, mas superou as minhas espectativas.
