As you know I live in Florida. I just can't bring myself to make or even buy a coat. We have such sporadic and short winters, I find they just hang in my closet for years until I give them away. So for at least the past 6 years I have not owned an overcoat. I usually just layer, and or wear hoodies and zipper jackets. I do own a Michael Kors leather jacket that I absolutely love.
At first glance of this pattern, I thought, well its on sale, but I doubt if I sew anything from it. Of course I see Burda Young and I think about teenagers. But after this weekends cold snap where we got down into the low 40's, I decided I needed to revisit and try View "A". Its perfect for layering, and just cute enough to wear casually with my boots and leggings.
Here goes:

The pattern was super simple and didn't even have to pay much attention to instructions. Burda and I have a love hate relationship, so I usually just review the instructions then toss them to the side and do my thing. That's exactly what I did here. It came together nicely and I can't wait to style if for you guys, so stay tuned.
Happy Sewing!
