Velour is on everyone’s lips right now; the feminine suede imitation looks grown-up, and cool jeans looks as well as chic dresses shine in new splendour. Especially models in sand to brown shades belong to the new must-haves. Today we want to sew a stylish coat with you – the pattern “Sally” from our magazine “inspiration”:

You can download the pattern for free until February 28, 2022. You can find the link for the pattern below in the post. As always, you’ll have to be quick because each pattern is only available for free download in the month stated.

Sewing the coat “Sally”

Be right on trend with the soft material, mellow colour and loose cut. The coat will surely be a perfect addition to your wardrobe because it complements a wide range of looks.

We combined the “Sally” coat with a fringe shirt for the Photoshoot of our inspiration Magazine. The shirt is very comfortable and the fringe details on front and back are here to impress. If that is not enough fringe, then the outfit can be paired with a matching bag. It adds a little pop of pastel colour and completes the look:

A look into the Magazine

The pattern and sewing instructions for the “Sally” coat appeared in the spring issue 2020 of “inspiration”.
