My Winnie the Pooh coat!

Lovely coat and I love the lining fabric too!  Well done with the bagging out, it does make for a tidy finish.  I've never been brave enough to try.  I was put off by my mother (an experienced seamstress) who used to pull a face and mutter darkly at the very idea.

Thanks all for your lovely comments.

@Fabric Lover you've made a fabulous job of that.  What fabric is the collar facing, it's a bit dark on my computer screen.  Is it the same as the lining fabric or something else?

@Ploshkin No I used a different fabric for the collar facing - I had a tiny remnant of some sort of velvet, not sure if it is but it feels so soft! I was worried about using the faux mohair close to my neck in case I found it itchy. I hate anything like that. It has an even thicker nap on the other side, I’d bought it to make a monkey wall hanging (I made a number of these!) but I decided to keep this for exactly this purpose!
