I love superfluous seamlines and color blocking so I’m a sucker for these types of patterns. Next up is this awesome jacket and legging combo. I have a reversible Pendleton wool and some matching binding I bought recently from Elfriede’s and I was looking for a simple coat pattern that would show off the fabric… I might be making a muslin of this soon! This is a great basic pattern if you have a really thick coating fabric which couldn’t handle the bulk of of a more complicated lapel with a back collar. They made it up in a floral fabric which also looks like a lovely spring coat. I like it exactly as is, with the high contrast binding. Let’s start with the coat on the cover photo. There were still a few good patterns to be had though… The January edition of Burda magazine is always a low point because they devote a section to costumes for Carnival – a holiday in Germany where you dress up like Halloween, I guess? This month there was also a maternity wear section with a bunch of dresses that didn’t really interest me, so double disappointment.
