2011#4: The Burberry inspired coat – Casaco inspirado em Burberry

Português
English (uncheck the other box and check this one)

(podem ver mais fotos minhas a usar o casaco aqui)

Descrição: Sobretudo forrado com saia separável (transforma-se num bolero), tem gola com bandas, dupla abotoadura na frente, presilhas nos ombros e atrás, bolsos de chapa com paleta e abertura nas mangas com zíper metálico. Os botões são de metal escovado e contém também uma presilha de corrente metálica para pendurar.

A inspiração para fazer este modelo foi retirada de um modelo da marca Burberry:

(Créditos da Imagem http://www.cashmoni.com)

O molde base que utilizei (modificado por mim) foi o modelo 102 da revista Burda de Agosto de 2009:

A confecção deste casaco foi extensamente documentada; eis a lista de artigos publicados:

Apresentação do projecto e alguns materiais
Alterações no molde
Reforços da frente superior
Reforços das costas superiores
As vistas da parte superior
Coser a gola
Aplicação da gola no casaco
Abertura nas mangas com fecho metálico exposto
Aplicação das mangas e o zíper na cintura
Parte inferior (saia): Reforços da bainha nos bolsos de chapa
Coser o forro no casaco

Detalhes do casaco (algumas fotos foram clareadas):

A gola: Os fechos metálicos: As casas de botão bordadas à mão (passo-a-passo no blogue do Paco, clicar aqui); é necessário um pouco de prática, acho que as minhas ainda não estão perfeitas, mas não ficaram mal: As presilhas (costas e ombros): Os bolsos de chapa forrados com paleta (o interior da paleta é em forro): O forro com o vivo laranja (passo a passo do vivo também no blogue do paco, ver aqui): Finalmente, o casaco sem a saia: Conclusão: Creio que posso considerar este projecto um sucesso, só tenho pena de ter demorado tanto tempo a completar e agora que já estamos na primavera não vou ter muitas oportunidades para o usar. Irei actualizar o índice de passo-a-passos com todos estes tutoriais e agora vou tirar um tempinho para arrumar a sala de costura, separar os tecidos para a primavera, visitar os vossos blogues (há algum tempo que não tenho tido tempo para o fazer) e sobretudo descansar, que bem preciso! Fiquem bem e obrigada pela vossa visita e o carinho com que sempre me brindam!

Description: Overall double-breasted lined coat with separable skirt (it turns into a bolero without the skirt), has collar with lapels, shoulder and back tabs, patch pockets with flaps and sleeve vent with exposed zipper. The buttons are brushed metal and there is also a metal chain as hanging loop on the inside of the coat.

The inspiration for this coat came from the famous zipper waist Burberry coat:
(Image credits : http://www.cashmoni.com)

The base pattern used (altered to fit the coat’s characteristics) was BWOF August2009 model 102:
The construction of this coat was extensively documented; here’s the list of the published articles:

Presenting the project and some notions
Pattern alterations
Upper front reinforcements
Upper back reinforcements
The bodice facings
Sewing the collar
Setting in the collar
Sleeve vent with exposed zipper
Setting in the sleeves and the waist exposed zipper
Lower section (skirt): Reinforcing the hem and the pockets
Lining the coat

Details (most pictures were lightened, to enhance the details):

The collar: The metal zippers: The hand worked buttonholes (you can find the tutorial for this over at Paco’s blog, click here); it takes practice to make them perfect, I think mine will get better with more practice: The tabs (back and shoulders): The lined patch pockets and flaps (the wrong side of the flaps is made of lining to reduce bulk): The lining with the orange bias tape trim (you can find the tutorial for this at Paco’s blog, click here): The coat as a bolero: Conclusion: I believe I can consider this project as a success, the only bad thing is that since it’s already spring, the chances of me wearing the coat will be little, but there’s always next winter, right? Since my spare time is so little lately, the coat took more time to finish than I expected. Now that it’s finished, I’ll take some time off from sewing; I’ll gather my spring fabrics, I’ll clean up and organize my sewing room and also take some time to visit your blogs, since I haven’t been able to do so lately. Above all, I must take some rest, because I feel exhausted. Thank you all so much for visiting and supporting Couture and Tricot!

  23. That is fantastic . I am so glad you got it finished and I hope you have some cold weather so you can show it off. I have noticed these coats here in Australia so maybe I should have a go . I dont wear double breasted though so I wonder how that would look . Well done Tany and again thanks for your great tutorials. Marianne.

  30. Tany, this coat is perfection! I absolutely love it. And, thank you so much for your generosity in posting the construction details -- I always learn so much from your blog, and I realize it's probably double the work to do all the sewing AND document and post the steps here. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  34. Your coat is amazing and your buttonholes look beautiful (better than mine anyway).

  49. Ola,
    Estive fora por uns tempos, já expliquei no blog, estou agora aproveitando para visitar os blogs das amigas. Seu casaco ficou lindo, valeu o tempo que voce gastou na confecção dele. Como voce comentou, vai começar a separar tecidos para a primavera, pois eu já comecei a confeccionar roupas para o inverno, que está dando as caras aqui no Sul. Já estou finalizando também as peças de trico que estavam nas agulhas. Sucesso e boas costuras de primavera. Um otimo final de semana para voce. Bjs.
    Tuca.

  50. Tany - I am a longtime reader who's never commented but this just pulls me out. I followed the progress of this coat, and have never seen anything so passionately detailed and exquisitely finished. I hope it's fair to say that this particular project has given something intangible but huge to sewing knowledge--awareness of what one can accomplish in home sewing (with practice and patience!). Thank you for that inspiration! It's just gorgeous.

  51. Lindo, lindo! Perfeição em todos os pormenores, como sempre. Modelo original e muito versátil! Além do casaco em si, adoro o detalhe do vivo cor de laranja. Parabéns, é incrível como no meio do pouco tempo que tens, consegues concretizar este projectos fabulosos. Ainda vais ter bastantes ocasiões para usá-lo antes do Verão, o tempo continua teimoso em adiar a Primavea...
    Beijinhos

  55. Hi Tany. I have been following your blog for 4 years and you always inspire me to be a more detailed sewer. But when you're gone this long I get very worried. Everything okay?

    ReplyDelete
  56. Hi DIY Bride, and thanks for your concern. Everything is fine; it’s just that other aspects in life have been taking precedence over blogging (and sewing! I haven’t been sewing either, except for a very simple top that I managed to sew last weekend). I’m just taking a break, that’s all… I really need it :))

    ReplyDelete
  57. That's good to hear, Tany. I'm very happy it's a break and not illness. Have fun! I look forward to seeing you when you come back.

  58. Perfeito Tany, estou chocada você fez igualzinho vc é 1000.
