It’s finished! Just in time for the early winter we seem to be experiencing, I’ve finished my first mustard delight, v8146. I’ve already spilled the details of the alterations etc in a previous post ‘v8146 – nearly there‘, so now I can regale you with photos 
And I’ll throw in a few fun facts too.
Fun facts start now:
There was just under 5 metres of seam binding involved in my rendition of v8146. I think it looks pretty. I could have got away without finishing the seams with this fabric, but decided to bind certain seams just in case anyone ever gets a look at them.

The delightful lining was cut to match up and replicate on both the right and left sides.
Exhibit A: lining on one side
Lining on one side
Matches Exhibit B, lining on the other side…
Ta da – matchy matchy!
Oh yeah, and the lining at the cuffs also matches.
More matchy
Here’s a look at the buttons (well a button anyway!) I sewed these on over the top of the magnets. This was a challenge to start with, but then I came up with some weird way to sew them on which worked.
And here’s the final product!
Let me know what you think!
Don’t you just love finishing a project!? It’s the perfect opportunity to start something new 
I’m now knee deep in a Beignet – can’t wait to finish! Of course

It’s a great coat! Love the color!
Thank you! I was obsessed with the colour when I bought it
Oh I love it so much! The mustard is wonderful and the lining looks so pretty on the inside. Well done madam.
Thanks Lady Bobbin!
Oh my goodness this is adorable!!! I love mustard!!! The color and the condiment!

Thank you! I love the colour too, not so into the condiment though hahahaha
I love the lining – RTW tend to stick in a vaguely matching lining and give it no further thought. Coordinating the lining is a really expensive looking touch, and as for matching the pattern both sides – such attention to detail – great work
Thank you! I agree, lining is often forgotten, or just plain boring. One of the beautiful things about making your clothes is having some funky lining I think
Looks lovely Zo. Very impressed by your matching lining
Thank you mother
Something to be very proud of, indeed. Lovely.
Thanks so much
I love the yellow and that BUTTON!!! And 5 m of seam binding is a lot of binding. :0 Your jacket is cheery and the lining is whimsical! Love it!
Thank you! The buttons are coconut!
Oh what a fabulous coat. Amazing choice of colour and I love your seam binding. I’m beginning to realize that details like these, whether they are seen by anyone else or not, make the whole garment so much more special and precious. Definitely one to wear with pride!
Thank you! I agree – the pretty little details make it more special, only if you’re the only one who ever sees them
ooooh… matchy matchy! I have a BIG thing for seam binding… you’re pulling on my heart strings badly here! First sewing relating thing on my to-do list when I get back… sew some seam binding! Love the bright yellow swing coat – looks gorgeous!!!
Oh thank you! Seam binding is pretty
) And I didn’t do the whole 5m at once so it wasn’t too painful either! Enjoy the rest of your trip and don’t think about binding too much ;P
Umm I freakin love it! Just wish it got cold enough in Brisneyland to wear something like that.
Umm I freaking love the term ‘Brisneyland’!!! I know about Brisvegas, but this is new. Noted addition to vocabulary
Love it. I’m thinking of making a coat out of some yellow fabric I bought last year and have been scouring the net for inspiration.
Thank you! Good luck with your coat – yellow is so cheery
This is so gorgeous I love a mustard coat!! and with a lining yours is even better than the original pattern!
Thanks Meredith!
it is really nice this coat .. how did you put the liner? have you got a tuto? I am a beginner in sewing …
ps: sorry for my english…
thanks!
Hi ansopeace! Thanks for your lovely words
The lining was attached at the neck, and at the cuffs, but it hangs loose at the bottom – but was made as a separate piece complete piece first. Does that help? I don’t have a tutorial sorry. This one was a bit tricky because there was no lining pieces as part of the pattern so I went off on my own… while also matching up the pattern. Don’t apologise, your English is great – better than any other language is for me! 
ok!
I would follow your advice! thanks !!
I can’t wait to see your jeans!
