Description

Hi, I was so excited about making this coat., but its not great! I think the wool I chose was too light in weight, and maybe the style isn’t for me either. I really enjoyed making this though, I learned how to do blind hemming, and my button holes were perfect. The lining went in without problems, the back vent looks fab. But I don’t like the finished coat. Oh dear, these things happen. Oh and its probably a bit too big.

Material Notes

Wool, and lining

    One persons disaster is another persons success! The coat is not what you ‘intended,’ that is one of the ‘opportunities’ sewing gives us! I hope you enjoy it anyway (different buttons, a scarf :) Best Wishes!
