This project is to be gifted to a very special and patient lady who has waited over a year for me to sew this up. It is made with Butterick 6244, circa 2015.
I didn't change anything about this pattern except for switching flat-felled seams for serging the interior edges. And switching the narrow hem for a rolled hem sewn with the serger.
I like this technique for the simple fact that it avoids the bulk of a narrow hem and doesn't distract from the embroidered border of the fabric.
This fabric has made an appearance twice on the blog. I picked up this wool blend fabric when it went on sale and there was enough to make a cardigan and another coat. To take advantage of the emboidered border, there was some creative folding and pattern piece placement on the cross-grain of the fabric.
