TEST DRIVING MY COAT...

...38 degrees and rainy in Georgia this morning and a perfect day for a coat test drive.  So I did just that


The coat fit well and kept me warm even as temperatures continued to drop on this misty Monday. I also wore my black knit Vogue 8939 dress made Fall of 2013 - still love this dress.  Mmmmm, I'm contemplating declaring this The Week of the Dress, we'll see...

    Wow- Sister Faye, you go girl! I am always amazed at sewists who have the skills AND the endurance to make coats. I am not on that level (yet). Love the style and the fit is on point!
