Finally! One more for the closet

Actually keeping me warm
Hooray!  It's done!


I'm tired of thinking about this coat, so here are some pictures.

BTW, that hat?  Wildhagen - Beautiful and interesting hats designed and made in Toronto, Ontario.



















Of the coat details - lots of buttons and topstitching (triple stitch at 4mm, ordinary sewing thread).


Of the lining and some inner details (I finally found a good use for one of the magnetic buttons/snap in stash).

Of how the non-working buttons sink nicely into the tiny sewn buttonholes on the CF - the button is sewn to the facing layer beneath.

Onward!

    That is such a beautiful coat! So stylish! oh my goodness, makes me wonder how I will ever get there. I have just finished my first sewing project, next up is this dress (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/487725834620947411/) which I want to try but there is no pattern so I have to work it out using a pattern that's similar - luckily I have a sewing class to help for the next 2 weeks - love your post!

    What a fabulous coat! I love all the fabulous details--and what a great idea to make mini buttonholes for the shanks of the nonworking buttons!
