This is a Built By Wendy pattern (No.3966). I bought the fabric last year but didn't get round to making it up. Now I have and I am posting it unfinished (I haven't hemmed the bottom or the sleeves and there are no buttonholes or buttons yet) since I am not sure whether I will ever finish it!! My boyfriend shakes his head when he sees it and says it looks like a bag of potatoes!! I kind of like it but I can see his point too. I haven't bought buttons for it and don't have any to recycle so I think this coat will remain in its present state unfortunately since buttons are too expensive for something that will never be worn. The problem, if there is one, is that I chose heavier material than is called for. The actual pattern seems fine and I loved doing the raglan sleeve - so easy. I chose satin for the lining which I love the texture of but which I found a pain to sew. Basically a good project sewing-wise (and I like the results technically) but maybe a bad choice of fabric for the pattern. PS Sorry for the awful photos!
