The long coat styling is making me all nostalgic. I remember when the full length maxi coats came into fashion in the 60s and just how elegant it made this very inelegant 17 year-old feel. I didn't get one until towards the end of the decade and it was so warm after the preceding years of high hemlines - I did love that coat in winter especially worn over still short skirts!

Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

I love long coats and the only way I can get them long enough is to make my own. The first thing I thought when looking at the new patterns was that
@UttaRetch
would love that particular pattern. I also like the Claire Shaeffer jacket but probably won't get round to making it (or even buying the pattern).
I already have at least three if not four winter coats of varying lengths and shapes so I really don't need any more.

I had a fantastic black maxi coat with a velvet collar and hem when I was 16 (from C&A). I wore it until the lining fell off it! Love a maxi coat. Yes, you are all inspiring me - I will make another maxi coat this winter!

I had a grey midi length coat which I made into a maxi by adding a faux Astrakhan band to the hem. I wore it until it was too shabby, I just loved striding about in it wearing long black boots.

I had a purple midi coat my mum made when I was 14. I loved it and wore it to death. I often wore it with a purple cord mini skirt with a big gold buckle. Also mum made.

When I was a teenager in the 70's, I had a petrol blue maxi coat that probably came from C&A. I wouldn't wear one know, though. Time has moved on and my figure is not the same as then.

'.... don't need any clothes'. What is this 'don't need any clothes' of which you speak

@Tamnymore
I almost live in jeans and jumpers at this time of year or t-shirts in summer and have plenty of both.
I don't wear dresses much - I had a dress for each of our children's weddings - nothing fancy as both were very low key and they have seen the light of day since, similarly one I made for Christmas about 4 years ago - worn once.
I love Vogue patterns but sadly don't need anything.
