I finished my coat, not without some issues... despite that, I like it and am happy that it's done in time to actually use it on those crisp autumn days.
It's made from a vintage, red twill that was part of Louise's big auction haul. I only had 3 yards at 36" wide and had to squeeze it out.
If interested, you can read more about it on my blog. http://when-ladies-dressed.blogspot.com/2009/10/red-twill-coat.html
