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!

  8. 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!

  12. 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.

  15. 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.
