A progression of easy patterns to sew, from pants to coats and here are two of the coats presently being made 11-2023

The fur from the 'Treasure Hunt Room' The cuffs and suede sleeve patches from the trim wall, the lining is the Sunback coat lining, the pocket exterior and the lapels are microfiber suede from the fabric room.

These are just the supplies laid out to make the same pattern with similar embellishments, from remnants and supplies sold at GSTREETFABRICS

The outside body from the 'Treasure Hunt Room', the cuffs and leather toggles and suede patches are sold on the accessories/trim room wall, the silkfaced brocade lining came from the remnant rack.

Intermediate sewing and ideas to sew along with me.

Easy Coats Made Reversible

 

Make 2 and sew them together-leave an opening at the bottom and flip.

Made two sewn together and flipped, got 1/4 yard of faux fur and sewn over the edge of the coat all the way around and around sleeve ends.  Ripped the 1/4 into 2 pieces of 1/8 width-left over fur.

This was sherpa backed faux suede so you only need to sew one and the flip the edges back and top stitch, open the seams and topstitch.

This was just front and back pieces folded over edge sewn on front, then topstitched and all fur pieces were just attached by snaps so, you could remove them if wanted.

From Long Johns to Baby Gifts to Coats

Making a Coat with some Leftover fur and Minky

I improvised using this pattern for guide, but didn't have enough fabric so I had to randomly piece some of it. 

 I have these three pieces of Fabric to use

Many fun and sooo soft and warm Faux Furs at 

https://gstreetfabrics.com/

Sleeves for one side are done...

This is the back of the Jacket with the sleeves laying against it so I can see how that combo will look

I have a scarf I love to wear, because it is sooo soft and warm..

I love this scarf, so hopefully, I can make a coat to match it, with the leftovers..

This is side one... I made two coats by sewing the scraps together... improvised on the pattern, because I didn't have enough of any one fabric to complete as it was on the pattern...I love this coat... it is lightweight and I can wear either side..

Side two...

One coat but two sewn together so it was reversible.  I did this by sewing the two coats and sewing the two together all the way around with right sides together and leaving a small opening at the bottom so I could flip it.

I then had to topstitch all the way around to give it a  more finished look.

This is the softest lightest weight fur ever... and the other two fabrics were minky and it was the same weight.   Thanks for the many compliments today.
 

Two pieces of leftovers went to fingerless gloves, so I could feel the steering wheel when driving

Just sew the slots into the tube the size of your hands so your fingers and thumb each have a channel...(I don't like to be cold)

Still had some leftovers and an old purse that I was going to throw away... took all the rings and zippers off of it and made this purse.. totally lined and top zip plus middle zip on both sides... left over pleather made the strapping.  The top side panel is a kayaking sunrise printed on a velvet, I had left over from some pillows, shown below.

This is the opposite side.  The strap is adjustable with a purse slide or you can use D rings.

I still have enough little pieces to make a clutch like this...

Matched the purple jacket

Matched the Black Fur Coat I Made

Now to make one to match the crazy fur quilted jacket

I was working on the wing chair, but got distracted to the coat... and maybe a pillow, maybe a little guitar.

The problem is the chairs are beckoning me to sit on them and then I take a break and don't get anything done!....

I am going I am going!  - with the new filler they are sooooooo comfortable... and the leftover fabric can make a tablecloth for the little table and cover some boxes to get more organized here.... sooo fun!

Made the pillow... now making a bigger one for the Sofa.... same fabric... sooo soft-invisible zipper at the bottom

If there is enough time, I am going to try to make either a blouse to wear tomorrow, or an outfit.

But 

I have to wash my hair.... so, 

1.  I will cut out the coat(Jacket)... 

2.  wash my hair... 

3.  sew the pillow and then sew the jacket and

4.   see what time it is...

5.  Try to make something to wear under the Jacket that is new...

6.  and some Faux Fur leg warmers.... with some velcro and elastic... quick and easy....

DONE

Gotta Use these Leftovers...!

These chairs are making my creative mind- just go wild.....  Loving the fabrics...!!!!

Don't tell me you don't have enough time to sew.. I don't have enough time to drive around to stores and not find what I want.
