Burda 6462; long coat, review

This blog is not about a review of a sewing pattern for a Chanel-Style jacket, but this review is about a pattern for a classic, long coat. The Burda 6462! A great pattern for a timeless fashion item.

Burda 6462
The Burda sewing pattern is a loose-fitting, lined coat. The top collar offers two variations, for example, fur, fleece or another contrasting fabric. There are also two variations in lengths: Model A. is a real classic long coat. Model B is a casual midi-length jacket. The jacket closes easily with three buttons and the model offers a variety of pockets: patch pockets or welt pockets.

Sewing level: average
The pattern is suitable for the average seamstress. We think the sewing pattern of the jacket is easy to sew, but the welt pockets are probably the reason an 'average sewing level' has been advised. The jacket has no pitfalls or difficulties.

The jacket is intended for the fabrics: wool, loden or Bouclé.
In terms of Bouclé fabric, we recommend: How to sew Bouclé fabrics.

Working with thicker fabrics is a bit difficult and it does require precise work. Perhaps also for this reason that the sewing level is set to average.

Pros:
  • The jacket is large and great for the winter.
  • Easy pattern, great instructions
  • Beautiful, classic and above all timeless model

Cons:
  • The model is not tailored or shaped. This makes the coat a bit 'bulky' and not very chic.

Summarized:

Burda 6462 is a beautiful and easy pattern for a classic long coat. The instructions are very comprehensive and clear. Note: with Burda patterns always cut 1.5 cm seam!

The coat is ideal for making beautiful Tweeds and Bouclé fabrics.

If you want to give it a Chanel style or Haute couture touch, make the jacket from Bouclé fabric and sew the lining to the outer fabric, as explained in Claire Schaeffer's sewing techniques. It will be a bit of a puzzle, especially at the collar, but for an advanced seamstress this is certainly possible.

And make darts in the coat:  'shape' it to your own style!
