Your mom will get quite a bit of use out of the coat. Its about 18 degrees in the Boston area today! 1/31/10 11:04 AM

ElizabethDee said... Everything here is wonderful -- the coat, the construction, the very helpful review, and, especially, the way the coat looks on your mother. 3/2/10 7:28 AM
Hilary said... Wow, this turned out beautifully! Love the style, the color, the lining, buttons and the great flat satin piping/trim between the lining and the coat. Thanks for such a detailed review! Your mom obviously LOVES her coat, and it looks fantastic on her. I think I have this in my stash and am glad to finally see a review for it. Do you know of a book that describes how to line a coat that doesn't come with a lining pattern? I recently made a lined and underlined coat for my son (turned out well, despite the fact I was completely wingin' it!). It would have been nice to have a guide, lol! 3/2/10 9:59 AM
