Maker’s diary: NIETOS by Mila Moisio

Welcome to follow the making of a fully lined winter coat, NIETOS, through a maker's video diary! Over four days of making, I will be tracing patterns, cutting tons of fabric, quilting, hacking, assembling, unpicking, having lunch and walking our dog. These daily records will guide you step by step in making your own version of the NIETOS coat. It is a project that takes time and patience. However, I encourage everyone to take up the challenge, as it will reward you with learning a range of new skills and having a winter coat of your dreams for years to come! - Mila Moisio, Editor-in-Chief of TAUKO magazine


 

DAY 1:
I will be enterting to the pattern party to find my path and cutting all three different fabrics used in my project.


DAY 2:
Quilting the padding and starting the assembly

It's getting chilly and time for day 2 of making the fully padded and lined winter coat #taukonietos with Mila! This day includes a lot of stitching to add the padding to the pieces of coat fabric, and a delicious recipe for making borsch soup. What more could you want?


DAY 3:
Zipper, placket, facings and all other tricky parts

On the 3rd day of making the #taukonietos coat, I'm diving into the assembly of the NIETOS coat! That's me:
✔️ Assemble the coat pieces
✔️ Add the zip, hood and lining
✔️ Take the first steps to assemble the lining

Plus a little lunch break to enjoy some delicious falafel at a local Berlin Imbiss. Come along for the process, the progress and the little joys of making!


DAY 4:
Fininshing with the lining and attaching it

I’ve reached the final steps of making the #taukonietos coat, and there’s nothing more rewarding than moving into this phase. Today, you’ll learn the tricks and techniques that bring everything together. Join me to discover how the magic happens and see a winter coat come to life, ready to wear!

The NIETOS pattern has variations for making either a coat or a jacket, one being the fully lined one I'm making and the other a cropped unlined parka for in-between seasons. To understand all you can do with this pattern, check out the community's creations and find the inspiration to make your version. We'd love to share your project, so please tag us @taukomagazine and #taukonietos and send us photos of your make to magazine@taukodesign.fi to be featured!
