Western Duster

[dragonhawke]

Does anyone have a duster pattern that can be modified for Steampunk, Goth, etc?

Butterick has a western-style duster pattern you can purchase online or at a fabrick store. It is pattern #3830.

I may go that route but it is an expensive pattern

Ebay, $5.00;. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Western-Duster-Coat-Shirt-Pattern-size-L-/181541476728?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a44b71978

Thanks Roys, but it was sold

Try buckaroo bobbins out of Az. She usually has a large assortment of western period patterns and his a good vendor and person to deal with.

Thanks Blackey. Yes I have been looking at their stuff. Tell you all why I'm looking. This duster is my "exam" project, so I can continue working with a master leatherworker of 42 yrs experience. So far He likes my work ethic, repair skills and attention to detail. Sounds lame to some people, but I have and can continue to learn more from him. So I am looking for a pattern that can adapt between Western, Goth and Steampunk. As an exdraftsman, pattern making isn't an issue usually, however it takes time to create one from scratch. And I have to admit to being a perfectionist when it comes to pattern making.

I got some patterns for cowboy colors from her but couldn't figure how to read them because iirc they allow extra material cand stitch lines for the clothe that we don't need.

I think I'll try anyway. My mom taught me how to use sewing patterns and how to adjust them, so it may help.

This Australien duster coat seems to be just right and isn't very expensive. Can be found herehttp://www.agelesspatterns.com/folkwear__4.htm. Hope it helps even though this post is pretty old.
