DIY: DENIM TRENCH COAT; BURTA PATTERN #7142

Checkout my very first jacket I made that came out great…

I started sewing more projects over the past couple weeks and I haven’t slowed down at all. Its seems like the only thing I want to do is SEW… lol! My girlfriend of course is the queen of DIY and I promise she hasn’t been making any of my items, only assisting when I have questions.

I’m super excited to show you my latest project using Burda Pattern #7142 and I must say… it is DOPE AS HELL!!! I styled my denim trench coat with just a simple white crewneck tee, khaki chinos, and brown boots from last fall.
