My plan for August is the Betsy Ross Retro Coat pattern in this Chinese Brocade I got for a song at JoAnn's last month. It was 60% off the clearance price, so that made it $1.60 a yard.
For the closure, I can't decide if I should go with the vintage coconut buttons from my stash, or the clasp I bought to go with it. Please vote if you have an opinion.
The pink, silky stuff is for the lining.
I was planning to make the short version to wear with jeans and pants, but now I'm considering the long version. Hmm...
