The vest and tie from Ottobre 3/2009 are a present for a friends son. I recycled an old Ralph Lauren shirt for the outside and used a Japanese pirate fabric from Kokka for the lining so it's very boyish!
Ottobre 6/2009, the recent issue has some perfect winter patterns, and this coat is one of them. The fabric is velvet and wool chartreuse bought locally. The wool is really much too heavy for the pattern so I had to make some adaptations to make it work - the half belt was needed to give shape to the back pleat.
The pleats in the front were stitched much longer to prevent the coat from looking too wide. The beret is a pattern from SewBaby.
Finally, my daughter, my baby girl, is 3 next week so I made her a dress from Ottobre 6/2009 also. We have cold winters so I changed it to long sleeves, but I kept the cuff details, which I love. The fabric is a Stenzo cord which I bought from Volksfaden.
