That coat looks so cool - I love the shape, and your fabric choices.

I saw the review and she said it was good for beginners!!! But then she used pre-quilted lining and no organza interlining, so that's several layers less with no hand-basting. I think the actual sewing together of the coat is not difficult. Oh, but there's double welt pockets! Something I've never done before... paohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642040846510090078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855116479106700295.post-46951007280829603062017-12-22T08:23:28.616-06:002017-12-22T08:23:28.616-06:00I I remember when that pattern came out.
