Coats Coats and more Coats I have made with GSTREETFABRICS

 


This is a coat I made just using the sleeve from some old pattern and just cutting a front and back.

Added a button tab on both sides of the front and detachable sleeves.  This looks like wide wale corduroy, but came from the Upholstery Truck Load Sale table.  Great place for experimenting.

The collar is snap on from the underside so that I can detach and be cozy in it around the house... then to go out put on the collar and the cuffs are elastisized so I can just slip them on comfortably.


I decided to make a matching purse from leftovers.


This coat started as a simple reversible berber-sherpa Jacket, from GSTREETFABRICS   Faux Fur collection

 


 This was a reversible berber we had in the Faux Fur section

I loved the feather fur, so I added it on top...so lovely and fluffy like bird feathers. I added the fur to both sides so it was reversible fur.


Someone saw me and bought it off my back.


Sometimes you just need a black fur coat

From GStreets Faux Fur Collection


Sometimes you need a shoulder wrap in case it is extra cold and windy


Clutch made from patchwork scraps of coat and faux suede


This was a compilation of skins from our skin bin and Faux suede from our wall of pleather and faux suede next to the wools, feather look came from the faux fur selection.  Sometimes I just get a quarter yard of something that looks flashy and make accessories out of it.

This was also made reversible.







Also used scraps for accessories




Strap hid cellphone pocket





Leopard polar fleece and Brown double sided minky, one of my favorite reversible coats



Also minky - black double sided and wild red polar fleece-reversible and high collar for windy days.

The black was quilted before I put it together!


You always need a Raincoat-Insulated like a puffy jacket and added a strip of faux fur for frufru

It was quick and a one piece hood cutout.

Cape slicker-also reversible


Note hooded and SlitFlap pockets






Everyone needs a Serpa Suede Coat... with hood,

This was just a soft faux fur that was so soft I had to make something from it.

I patchworked it, with brown double sided minky.
Reversible and then a large scarf.
Left overs made a purse


That odd piece in the middle with the gold and a piece of sample of a fabric I made on Spoonflower of a sunrise I took at the beach and put on Velvet. I didn't want to waste it so I sewed it into the flap of the purse front.

Reversible

made side pockets so they could be pulled through when using the other side

Light Cotton Jacket, Matching Design No Pattern

Image
  This was a lovely gift of two yards of fabric from my friend who went to Bali. I am proud of how I figured it out and also I had the perfect button hooks to match the fabric, wasting away in my button sewing box. It was a 2 yard piece of fabric with dark blue background and gold metallic design. When it was finished I took the scraps and made a mask and earrings.  Used every inch of this fabric. I needed something lightweight and cotton, so I picked up the piece and examined the print.  It had some lovely design that was in columns I could use for borders, but I could see it would take work to cut it out. The selvage was a nice print of gold, that I didn't want to lose.  I laid out the whole piece of fabric and figured how I could cut the front pieces and the back piece on a fold and utilize the border strips. When there wasn't quite enough of the strips I would block end them with the scraps. In my sewalongwithkitty.com blog this post explains taking a simple piec...

Everyone needs a Hibiscus Free Flowing Jacket

Image
  This is a true hibiscus or Rose of Sharon flower Free Flowing jacket.  As you can see as usual I paired a scarf of the leftover fabric with a scarf of the leftover slinky knit in red. To Look together your outfits can have a catchy pair of earrings, a scrunchy or braided fabric bracelet. I love this jacket with the feathers on it.  I satin stitched the edges of the chiffon jacket to give the simple appearance of serging. I believe the red slinky knit pullover with the red slinky knit pants are catchy with any jacket that has a spot of red. I made this slinky knit top to wear with the feather outfit .The other day.   Now with the new free flowing jacket, I have added slinky knit palazzo pants.    Note the bottom of the palazzo pants has a cuff to add length to my tops of my shoes.  I love the slink of these pants and they have nice pockets and a drawstring added to the elastic waste. I tucked the long sleeves of this jacket into the pockets to sh...
