and this,
that seams to happen about every four years or so.
But when we did return to school today, the temperature was 18 Degrees with a wind chill factor of 9. So I felt compelled to wear this...
Thank goodness my Kwik Sew 4197 jacket was ready to keep me nice and cozy during our Antarctic temps. It's unbelievably light weight, but also remarkably warm. This is my second wearing - because - yes contrary to popular belief, it does get cold here in Middle Georgia. And, yes (go ahead and laugh) 1/2 inch of snow does stop us dead in our tracks...
Love it! Perfect on you! Perfect for the weather!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Carrie!
DeleteI love it, it looks better on! You look beautiful! Yes we snicker at 1/2 inch snow, but those temps are low, stay warm!
ReplyDeleteThank you LaQuana!
DeleteLovely coat!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mariela!
DeleteLovely jacket, Faye. I'm sure the folks up north would laugh at the amount of your snow. We had sleet here in Texas last week and some schools actually closed because of it. The joys of living in the south!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteGood thing you had that jacket made! Stay cozy and warm! The jacket does look wonderful on you.
ReplyDeleteSo useful, but no good here at the moment - 45C = 112F and 5% humidity but it is summer in Australia :)

Sam I am ALWAYS amazed that our seasons are opposite! Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteSo beautiful Faye! Your timing on making this wonderful looking coat is impeccable!
ReplyDeleteThank you Myra. I still have to copy your leather moto jacket.
DeleteWow. Your coat looks fabulous and you styled it beautifully Faye. Stunning from head to toe
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane! I do so love this coat. Love the one you just made too!
DeleteLove that coat! Looks so comfy and warm.
ReplyDeleteThank you Elle it is a toasty coat!
DeleteThat coat looks great on you and I am sure you appreciated the warmth!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda. I'm in love with this coat and this type of fabric now!
Deletewow that coat is fantastic, love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Beth!!!
DeleteMs. Fay I completely can understand, because that same cold snap made its way down to Texas. Your coat looks so comfy. Do you put a warming liner in your coats, I don't even know what its called? I know when I was young and my family lived in Colorado, my mom put something in as an added liner, but of course she does not remember. If you get tired of that beauty you can always send it to me!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane! I usually do incorporate inner lining of some sort to my heavier coats'. But not this one, no lining of any type at all it's just the raw sherpa/shearling inside which is strange to me but it works. Love this fabric now!
DeleteI totally understand why y'all stop at .5 of snow - you don't get enough of it to have the proper equipment to handle it. However, I'm thrilled that you had your new coat to wear to keep you warm in the cold!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carolyn! Yes, driving here with .5 inches of snow and black ice can be tricky.
DeleteIt's SO perfect Ms. Faye!!! And I'm glad you got to wear it with the recent SNOW (and ice)!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Vanessa! I think you are north of me so I would imagine that you got more snow than me though.
DeleteHow far are you from Fine Fabrics? We need to plan a meetup in the Spring! I'm 2 hours away - South.
DeleteOMG...I so want this coat Ms. Linda!!! I LOVE it!!! Fits you so well!!! That snow though...Ill pass on that!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tisa! But you would burn up down there with this coat!
DeleteLove it! It fits so well and just looks fabulous on you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Catherine!!!
DeleteBrrrr . . . it sure looks cold!!! And you are wearing the perfect jacket to keep you warm in that weather. You did a great job on it. It looks absolutely fabulous on you!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great jacket and outfit. Looks like a great pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you, and it is a great pattern.
DeleteYour coat looks amazing! Good luck facing the cold
ReplyDeleteThank you!
