A coat! (and a new updo)
Posted by Kristin on Thursday, January 3, 2013. Filed under: Sewing
Three months, two fabric orders, 1.5 spools of thread, 220 inches of hand sewn hemline, and multiple mistakes later....I have a coat!
And I am completely and totally in love. It twirls. It is warm, but not too warm. I can move my arms about.
I would sleep in it if I could....(but that would be weird).
Today's updo is again courtesy of Kate from The Small Things Blog.
And here is my rat's nest (after it had fallen and I had repinned it four times):
But just to be on the safe side I'm trying a new one tomorrow...

Brilliant coat -- the color and fabrics are delicious and the cut is perfect for you. Would you mind revealing the pattern?
Sorry for being late to your party, but I only just found your blog. (RSS'ed now.)
