Well, Sew Much Talent has me sewing again! This month the challenge is February Fantasy Month. And we are to make or do something we've always wanted to do, but never have. Mine is ....Making a Coat.
I have the fabric, the lining, the pattern... everything but the courage. Yes, you can call me the Cowardly Lion. :) So, on Saturday I got everything out and started. After some measuring, it was apparent the patten would need some length adjustments in three places! That's three places time 5!!!! (the front and back, the front and back lining, and the front facing) Well, that took me 2 days!
And I still need to make adjustments to the sleeve, but at least I have the front and back linings done and cut out. I'm using the lining for my muslin. I have yards of this lining, so if I need to cut a new piece I have plenty.
I hope to work on it some more today!

I'm excited for you to get your coat made. I know it's going to be beautiful! Maybe if I'm good, you'll walk me through making one for me. :-)
