Need Help - Vs Style Burlap Jacket

[Darth Veach ●]

Anyone out there who makes their own FvsJ jacket, I am hoping I can get some help from you! I am good at sewing when it comes to following a pattern, so I am wondering if there is a pattern someone would suggest using. I know Rahl makes his own pattern, but I am not that accomplished! His recent incarnation of his VS costume has re-sparked my interest in making another one. This time around I'd like to actually make a real burlap coat. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it!!

I believe he uses a barn coat pattern which you should be able to acquire at many fabric shops.

Thanks wicked! I have never heard of a barn coat before, but I just googled it and I can see the similarities.

Frenchglen Barn Jacket by Green Pepper is a good start.

Thanks Rahl!! This helps a lot. I was at Jo Anns today looking thru book after book and not finding anything I could really use.

ARRRGH! Crap! Jo Ann does not carry that pattern, have to order it online! Also trying to decide which burlap to go with. At Jo Anns the 2 they had were "natural" and "Idaho" I am thinking the Idaho since it is a darker tan color, but not brown. The natural looks too light to start with.

Tea and coffee work well for starters. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> ~Jonny
