Thanks for the detailed review. As it is, it looks like it would be nice for date night. You have demonstrated much patience, fortitude, and ingenuity in completing this project. Hope it rains so you can wear it. If you have enough fabric left over, a hat with a brim would be nice just in case.

Unbelievable! Your perseverance paid off big time. Brave soul-you possess great confidence. I sound like a fortune cookie. Beautiful coat!

thank you so much for your detailed review. I am looking for a trench pattern and this could be the one, although I'll make it longer. Knowing that it is not boxy was a bit help. Liked your choice of "fabric"

Great review, Karen; so detailed! I love your jacket and it is now on my ever growing list of "wants"!

Great results in a difficult fabric. A piece of scotch magic tape on the bottom of your presser foot works almost as well as a teflon foot btw. A very attractive and useful jacket.

I absolutely love the looks of your trench!

Wow - this is a terrific trench coat Karen - certainly not run of the mill. Great review as always

Unusual fabric. Good to see the pattern sewn up.

Wow, I LOVE that fabric. You did a fantastic job putting it all together. I can't imagine it was easy to work with. Great results!

I remember when you started this project and I'm glad to see you've conquered the fabric with such wonderful results!

Karen, what a fabulous trench! Thanks for all the construction details. Now to find fabric for a shameless Karen knockoff.....

SUPER helpful review - boy that jacket just ROCKS on you. Glad you persevered through the difficult fabric, because you ended up with a jacket that looks like a million bucks. TERRIFIC job!

Very nice job

Wow. This is fantastic - and I love the lining. By the way, a teflon foot is really worth having for anything that's sticky or might drag. I use mine very often.

Very snazzy jacket!

What an awesome jacket. I love the black lining inside. The outer fabric looks stunning.

What a cool jacket! That fabric is amazing! I'm impressed that you were brave enough to tackle it and your results are superb!
