Special touches are what turn an ordinary garment into something truly special, and this coat is definitely special! Connie shows us two versions – one in red corduroy for winter holidays and the other in a mid-weight white pique, trimmed in pink – ideal for the cooler weather of spring. Both coats incorporate a graceful, scalloped bodice overlay, a delicately piped, rounded collar, set-in sleeves with lower sleeve bands and a full lining.
Pick up essential construction tips for putting together the smallest of garments, easy ways to install linings, insert piping, create perfectly rounded, symmetrical collars, adding buttonholes and much, much more as you follow Connie, step by step. While she demonstrates the construction of this keepsake coat, she’ll share all the tried and true techniques and tools she’s used for the easiest, best outcome.
This darling coat is sure to delight any little girl (and her mother).
