Nice project with high happiness factor ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bog-coat#post-2142141 Wed, 02 Sep 2020 15:50:05 +0000 cjh 2142141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is a garment sewing project I’ve been working on for several days. It took lots of advance thinking before I got started on the cutting and sewing.&nbsp;</p> <p> <div>Similar to kimono in that it’s made with straight line pieces and cuts, what I’m discovering to be a type of no-waste garment. It is made with a 50” x width of fabric rectangle. The lining is also 50”, though a little narrower w-o-f, so I made a faced hem with the trim fabric. Pockets are an additional 8.5” square each, so that would account for needing a length of your desired width plus 8.5” for pockets. My outside piece is a burgundy geometric with metallic gold, an African print featured this “season” at Joann Fabrics. The black floral lining is also from Joann many years ago, (I probably bought to back Valentine placemats) and had about 55” available. The gold floral trim is older, too, and I still have 2-3 yards left, leading me to think I probably got it on a clearance table somewhere. </div><div><br /></div><div>It’s rather warm, with two layers of nice cotton, all prewashed, of course. So I feel it could be used as a true outside jacket, for running errands or visiting, for medium cool fall weather. I’ve tried it on with black jeans and long sleeve burgundy T-shirt, and a similar colored scarf.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>This is due to an experimental intention of making and wearing more “artsy” handmade items, which I always love to see, feel like are somewhat “me” but have been too shy to wear, and don’t want to pay for someone else’s beautiful creations when I know I could do it myself if I’d take the time and efforts. </div><div><br /></div><div>It’s called a called bog coat after the fact that similar garments made from one piece of fabric have been found on the remains of ancient people found preserved in the peat bogs in Northern Europe. There is a hooded version, too.</div></p>
