title: "Carlita coat: What You Need"
To make Carlita, you will need the following:
- Basic sewing supplies
- About 5 - 6 metres (5.5 - 6.6 yards) of a suitable main fabric (see Carlita Fabric options)
- About 3.5 - 4 metres (3.8 - 4.4 yards) of lining fabric (see Carlita Fabric options)
- About 0.75 - 1 metre (0.8 - 1.1 yards) of sleeve lining fabric (see Carlita Fabric options)
- Light to Mediumweight hair canvas (see Carlita Fabric options)
- Heavyweight hair canvas (see Carlita Fabric options)
- Tailors tape
- 6 Buttons for front closure
- Strong thread for attaching facings
- (Optional) Silk buttonhole twist if hand-sewing the buttonholes and buttons.
Carlita has a lot of pieces! These lengths are estimates, you may need more or less depending on your size but if in doubt add an extra 0.5 to 1 metre of fabric.
