To guide my small- scale patterns, I looked at the shapes from a large sleeved top before cutting them out from applique. This was then pinned and ironed onto the fur and leather fabrics and cut out. Once I had all my sections, I could assemble them together by hand stitching the sleeves inside-out, attaching them to the arm tabs and pulling them back out of the body the right way round. To hide any unsightly seams, I lined the inside of the fur fabric with a cream material. I lastly stitched on the fur trims to the cuffs and collar, adding a belt to the leather one to add shape to an otherwise straight coat. To see if these clothes would fit my figure, I dressed a barbie in them to make sure everything was in proportion and in the right place.
