Since I knew I would making a new winter coat anyways, I've joined in on the Sew Much Talent (gr) Facebook Coat Challenge.
The challenge ends on December 30th so I really need to get busy with this project...

#BLOGLIKECRAZY 28: AND SO IT BEGINS...
...my regular readers know that I make a new coat every Fall. And so it begins; my 2017 Winter Coat Project. I touched on the subject a few days ago here. The process is basically the same each year. First I wade through a myriad of coat patterns. Avid collector as I am; that process could take days in itself. This year I'm hankering to experiment with faux sherling. I am anxious to see the end results of the project; but, I am a bit apprehensive at the same time having never worked with the fabric. As hard as it was, I made myself choose between these two patterns:
When you are equally in love with both, it's a hard decision to make - but I chose the KwikSew Pattern because I think it's more ME, and that I will wear it more. Some say it doesn't get cold enough in Georgia for these types of coats but I beg to differ - it was 31 degrees when I left for work this morning. I pacified myself by promising to make View A of the McCall's pattern later this Winter. So I'll begin tonight by starting to make adjustments to the pattern in preparation for; YES - a muslin.
