We love the beautiful silhouettes, yummy fabrics, gorgeous details, and inspiring images of the vintage coats created and posted in our Reader’s Closet Gallery by Threadsmagazine.com member, Pattern_Nut. And, based on the great comments I see, many of our other members do too! She created the garments from a variety of vintage patterns, including McCall’s and Butterick and even shares the pattern covers for more jawdropping inspiration. Here’s a sampling of some of her gorgeous garment creations.

I love the 40s suits and skirts. I found a red skirt one day in the thrift store that was circular with lots of detail and the zipper sewn in the side pocket. I admire quality.
But I cannot find a pattern for the simple office girls' hats that were worn on a slant and most had no more than a 3" brim, without much crown on top.
We see them in the older movies and they looked so professional. I would like to try sewing one but I cannot find a pattern. Any suggestions? Virginia
