I am so excited to finally share the refashion of my grandmother’s trench coat. Some of you may remember that I inherited my grandma Metta’s clothes when she passed away last year. I already refashioned one of her dresses and one of her sweaters. This coat is extra special to me because it has her handwriting on the tags, and a sewn in label with her last name as well. It took me forever to finish tailoring this trench coat (I started in February, People!), but was well worth the time.
Please watch the video below for the full tutorial on tailoring a trench coat and details.
Much love,
Kara

What an amazing transformation and such a special sentimental piece! You are very talented. May you fondly remember your grandmother whenever you wear this!
Thank you for your kind words :)
It looks brilliant well done.
Thank you!
Wow!! I need to do this for one of my coats! First, I need to know how to attach the threads to my 3-year old machine I’ve never used since I’ve received it!! ?
Good luck! I use youtube when I need help!
