So, I have agreed to sew a wool coat for J. He DESPERATELY needs a new dress coat. The lining has completely fallen out of his, and for some reason I have decided that I can MAKE coat that is much nicer than anything you could BUY.
Here is the project plan:
The coat will be made from black wool coating and lined with a black, red and gold silk twill. I just completed the first fitting muslin, which turned out surprisingly well:
The next step will be to cut out the wool and the underlining and start padstitching everything together before assembling the shell. It is going to take FOR-FREAKING-EVER!
Good thing it's only July! It may take me until December to get this thing together.
