I have to apologise, I finished this weeks before Christmas but didn’t get round to posting pics. I have worn it many times since and am delighted with it, it’s lovely and warm and very comfortable. It has encouraged me in coat making so this won’t be my last! :sew:

Absolutely love that, the jacket, the colour and the buttonholes - all are brilliant. Quite envious!

Thanks all, I feel that it looks big - you can’t tell from that photo but when it turn to the side, it is quite voluminous in the back. I know nobody wants a coat that is tight but I wonder if for another version I would take it in slightly. I will get DH to take another photo tomorrow from the side.

Just managed to try this on now I have tacked the yoke on. A long way to go yet, with lining yet to do etc.

That looks lovely Bodgey, well done. I’m a long way off from finishing mine but have just managed to try it on. Hope it turns out as well as yours has.

Yes I have cut a new one now Tamnymore, I did consider using the first one as it was, and I think I probably could have got away with it but I had just enough to recut it. The odd thing with the fabric is that there are times when I struggle to tell the difference and other times when it seems glaringly obvious with a slightly fuzzier look to the right side and a flat look to the wrong side. I think it might have bothered me if I hadn’t swopped it.

Some progress made on the coat - the front side and back panels stitched and the in seam pockets in. I’ve tacked the 2 piece  sleeves to the underarm but I cant try it on until I’ve added the yoke to it as it is attached to the upper part of the sleeves. Unfortunately the photo is upside down - don’t know why it does that.  ><
