The Amadeus Coat!

Here is my newest refashion! I turned a two-piece wool costume into a coat, which I have worn every day since finishing it....


I bought the costume at the flee market for a ridiculous amount of 5 Euros... Here is the before and after:


I kept as much of it intact as possible, replaced the pockets (actually turned them into real pockets instead of just flaps as on the original...), the waist band of the skirt became the belt. The whole thing is fully lined of course...


You can read the full how-to story on my blog Of Dreams And Seams HERE.
Have a fabulous New Year everybody!
Best,
Katja
