I honestly never thought I'd see the day when this coat was finished!
I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and this sewalong was a great help. Thank you so much, Marji, for organizing and overseeing it. And many thanks to the experts who posted tutorials here—I relied heavily on your advice.
Stop by my blog for photos of me wearing my coat while shopping in Soho (NYC), my thoughts on the whole coat sewing process, and more detail photos of my coat. Here's my review on PatternReview.
Wow! I love the detailing, with the pockets making it look like a wide belt & highlighting your waistline, and those cheerful buttons. And, ooh lala! you look tres chic et belle in front of that store: there's nothing like a real on-person shot to show off a garment. Beautifully done project, I bet as years go on you'll forget the labour pains ;-) and just enjoy wearing this baby more & more.
