Sewing Pattern Jacket Coco – Tutorial

coco-seite

Since nearly one year I have this beautiful frabric from stoffe meyer at home and it is waiting to become a Coco… It’s a 99% cotton and only 1% polyester mix wit a nice, even ethno white, blue, red, yellow-green weaving pattern – perfect for Coco!

Now finally it’s done and I made some photos while sewing and I made up a step-by-step phototutorial for you that makes it even easier to sew Coco.

Apropos, Sewing Pattern Jacket Coco is “schnittchen of the month” throughout february, this means both – pdf-Download and printed pattern is reduced in price!

So, have fun sewing!

Cheers, Silke
