No picture wearing it yet because daily temperatures are currently reaching the mid 70's. However, our weatherman is promising a return of the polar vortex in just a few days. What my Grandmother said is still true; "Spring doesn't officially happen in Georgia until Easter".
I took the challenge and conquered this fabric; now I saw today that Victoria has extended Fearless February through March.
I'll have to decide if I want to start another fearless project. Right now I really need a little palette cleanser; something nice and easy and simple and knit probably from a TNT pattern....
Vera looks very nice and I love the color.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dorothy!
DeleteYour coat looks great! I too love the color.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rebecca!
DeleteIt is so pretty. I cannot wait to see it on you.
ReplyDeleteYour coat looks great and I love the colour! I've never made a coat but I'm thinking of tackling one this coming winter. I hope I can get it to look as good as yours.
ReplyDeleteThank you Shelly! I'm absolutely positive that you can make a coat too!
DeleteOf course it's gorgeous Faye :)

Don't let your dress succumb to the garbage can calling Helen. You can do it, and thanks for your comment!
DeleteBeautiful coat.
ReplyDeleteThank you Necie!
DeleteFaye, I seriously have coat envy now, lol! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you Candice. I went overboard with coat envy this season. I still hope to get one more short one done.
DeleteYou might be done but it's a good done. Your coat looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThank you Queenie, can't wait to see yours!
DeleteWOOOOOOT FAYE!!! now THAT'S a coat. come on polar vortex we need a shot!
ReplyDeleteyou could always do up a quick no-tailored, unlined coat for the global warming days. cause that jammy takes like one evening. i should call mine a no-coat.
Love your terminology Oona and thank you so much! I really need to make a no-coat real soon.
DeleteBeautiful, Faye! I love the style - the off center buttons and funnel-ish neck!
ReplyDeleteThank you Clio!
DeleteIt is BEAUTIFUL! What a colour! And our polar vortex has succumbed to a polar vortex (according to my work friend's analysis). It is beyond cold here. Entirely miserable. So I wish I had your weather reprieve. Or a house in Australia!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I feel so sorry for my northern friends. Try your best to stay warm!
DeleteCongrats on conquering that fabric and making a gorgeous coat.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteWay to go, Faye, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lori.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Andrea!

ReplyDeleteYou have been my inspiration for coats all season long - Thank you Tany!
DeleteFabulous coat Ms. Faye!
ReplyDeleteL, thank you!
DeleteBeautiful Coat.. Great job..
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about the pallette cleanser. Maybe a couple simple tops will do? Your coat looks wonderful, very nicely tailored and I can't wait to see it on, not that I'm wishing you more cold winter weather!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bunny. I learned a lot from you and followed your information.
DeleteWhat a beautiful coat! I love the color, and the shape is a bit Jackie O, isn't it? It was well worth all the time and tailoring!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Uta!
DeleteCongrats Faye! It looks great, but what does your mother think? :)
ReplyDeleteMy Mom says that she loves it Kyle. Thank you!
DeleteYour coat is stunning! I've always liked the funnel neck on this pattern, the buttons & the seaming. Hey, I should just make one for myself!
ReplyDeleteThank you Patty. It is a nice pattern and you should try it.
DeleteOkay this if FABULOUS! CONGRATULATIONS!! on meeting your goal! I love how you declared it DONE! Yes...always one more thing to do. This turned out great! You must be well pleased!
ReplyDeleteThank you Terry!
DeleteThat is gorgeous Faye!! Sorry I haven't been visiting awhile. Hope you are doing well. Look forward to a pic of you in it! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Far. Glad to see you here!
ReplyDeleteI think it's beautiful. Those shades of blue are very flattering on you.
ReplyDeleteAnd we're expecting a foot of snow Sunday night, and single digit temperatures, which started yesterday, until Wednesday. So you'll probably get to wear your pretty new coat, but hopefully not be as cold as I am!
Thank you Marjie. Don't think I'll get to wear this heavy coat, it's 66 degrees today. Good thing about it is It will be all ready for next winter.
DeleteCan't wait to see this on you! I'm sure you look fabulous in it and all of your hard work shines through.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do get a cold snap - that lovely coat deserves a very good outing :)
ReplyDeleteHats off to you, Faye! Your coat is a right work of art.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the information about the hemming gadget, not very useful if you have to wait for it to cool down before touching it... but the idea is really good!
Very nice coat and thank you for the kind compliment. Hope to whip up another one this weekend. :-)
