I've now got the sleeves in - which I don't particularly like the feel of, I hate things that restrict my movement, but I think that's the nature of coat sleeves. The front is a bit wide across the chest, so a little "foldy" by the armholes, not ideal, but not a lot I can do about it now. The fabric was becoming a nightmare, as it's starting to fall apart at the edges, so I've quickly sewn the under collar on while there's still some seam allowance! It also meant I couldn't see most of the notches on the sleeves and my chalky pen thing would mark the fabric either, so had to bodge the sleeves in.
The worst bit of it is, now I've tried it on, I feel like I'm wearing a tartan dressing gown
It's quite long at the moment, once I've got it lined I'll shorten it to above the knee and it'll maybe look better, but currently I'm not feeling any love for it
