Alethia - Getting Started

Thanks Marji for taking the initiative to start this sew along. This is my first attempt to sew a coat. I must say it is a challenge for me, one that i am very excited about. I like the fact that you have set goals for each month so that each time can be accomplish in plenty of time.

I need to decide on a pattern. I know that i want it to be a dress coat, probably ankle lenght. In terms of choosing a lining , I am leaning towards satin lining.
