I really had to fight with myself not to pad stitch the lapel and collar because this coat was designed for soft tailoring.
Finish Line List:
- Construct lining and attach to front facing
- Attach lining and front facing to coat
- Hem sleeves and coat bottom
- Make buttonhole and stitch on button
Maybe, just maybe I'll be done before Christmas...

DeleteHappy Birthday! I made a wool winter coat last year, and it took 2 months. I'm not a fast sewer, and I am a perfectionist, which is a curse I wouldn't wish on anyone. There isn't any such thing as a "2 hour top" in my world. I have been trying to adapt using the "good enough" rule, but it is a struggle. Your coat is turning out very nice. Enjoy your Christmas break!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindy. I know, I'm a bit of a perfectionist myself and I am always adding steps to the pattern instructions.
DeleteHappy birthday. You got a lot done, and the plaid matching looks really good.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Elizabeth!
DeleteHappy Birthday,Faye! You are moving right along.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bunny!
DeleteHappy belated birthday! Hope you had a lovely day :)
ReplyDeleteThe coat looks like it's going to look amazing! I'd planned to make a coat this winter, but time has just not allowed it sadly!

Thank you for the birthday wishes Sian! I know about time not allowing different sewing projects. There are too many things on my list.
DeleteHappy Birthday, Faye; I'm sorry I missed it! It's also my second son's birthday, and the day before my daughter-in-law's birthday, so you know I was baking cakes like crazy. You're making great progress on your coat. I hope it gets done during your Christmas break!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marjie! Hope both your son and daughter-in law had wonderful birthdays too. I know your cakes were delish!
