No sewing on Saturday as we had to return the doggies to DD, but it left Sunday free, and I managed a good few hours in the sewing room, where I felt that a lot of progress was made.
Coat and lining construction is now just waiting for the sleeves to be put in, and the collar added.
Sleeves, I'm a bit concerned about as they seem very long, and very wide. So, before I go any further, I'll have to check them against another coat I wear regularly. I'm also unsure of the lining. When I've made previous lined projects, I've always cut the sleeve lining shorter, but this is the same length. I think it may be because the sleeves have zips on, which I'm not doing, so I may need to adjust. I'll be checking the width as well.
The collar seems straightforward, so maybe this week will see the coat finished.
I do need to look for buttons though, I thought I had some, but they look too purple.
