I'm currently making a coat for my son but I don't think that's the design you're after!!
I've made several coats and enjoy making them but have found I don't wear them so often any more. Except for my Jalie City coats, I wear those a lot!! I made those patchwork style out of denim, one using old jeans and one using proper denim from the offcuts from making my son's jeans.
The coat I got stopped for the most (people asking where I got it from or just to say how much they liked it) was a very full collared, lower calf length, fit and flare type Vogue pattern. Love that coat but probably haven't worn it since we came to Evesham, it's just not been cold enough!!
