Linda (Danville Girl) Fabric choice made and ordered

I will be making the McCall's coat but I will not be making the red view. I want to change things up so will be making View A, blue one. I will also be making it in blue, a royal blue. I just ordered my fabric from Gorgeous Fabrics, taking advantage of her sale price. Gosh, I feel like I am making progress. My McCall's pattern arrived today. Hopefully once the fabric arrives I will be able to find the right lining fabric and color.

Later.

My final decision

I have agonized over what pattern to use for this coat sew along. I narrowed it down to Vogue 7978, McCalls 5247, or drafting a coat pattern using PMB4. I got an email from BMV Club announcing a one day $5.99 McCalls pattern sale. I ordered the McCall's pattern.

I will probably make the red version, but giving serious thought to View A (blue). This would be different from what I always buy in RTW, red one is pretty much the style I always go for.

I am still undecided about fabric. I am leaning toward a more solid color but want to do something besides black. I have some coat fabric in stash but it is in the plaid family and have real concerns about using it for this first time full length coat.
