That's so gorgeous! What a fabulous style! Great, great work! You're an inspiration. :)

Your coat is beautiful. You did a great job on the bound buttonholes...the fabric looks a little loose weave which makes bound buttonholes even more of a challenge.

This coat is gorgeous!! I'll bet you do get lots of comments.

Terrific coat! I can just picture you wearing it around town too :) .

Your coat is fabulous and I love the vintage-ness of it all!

Oh so adorably cute. Where most people are bundled up in dark deary colors that match some winter days, you must look like a ray of sunshine in your vintagey-fabulous coat.

Love the fabric! It just goes to show how fabric selection is so important. Your coat is fab. Nice work.

Gorgeous! What a terrific idea to dye fabric for a contrast. I love this coat. It is elegant and well made.

You should be proud. This is a wonderful work of art.

Very pretty fabric and since the coat is what people will see more than what's underneath, you want it to shout out and not be boring. Great choice. Also, I'm so jealous of your button holes. What method did you use?
12/16/07 1:11 PM
This is really gorgeous - although I have to admit that the idea of a turquoise fur collar really spoke to me when you mentioned it :-). And you should tell your mom that everyone will be looking at you because you'll be cheering them up so much! But did you do a Hong-Kong finish -inside- a lining?? Setting aside for a moment the sheer masochism of it, it'd also add bulk to the seams that'd be going against the idea. A Hong-Kong finish is a lovely thing to do to unlined garments indeed, but not otherwise. Even if your fabric ravels, if it's wool your seams are perfectly safe inside a lining. And they should stay that way, without sharp defined edges, without extra layers of even very fine fabric, without extra stitching..

Oooo, love it! Your fabric is just perfect. :o)

Faaaabulous coat!!! That fabric is to die for. Just awesome!! It's winterwear that gives hope for spring, IMO.
12/16/07 1:45 PM
What a stylish alternative to all the puffer coats I see everywhere. I love that all your hard work payed off so beautifully.

Hi Oma Connie!! (Wish I was...) Your coat is WONDERful for Canadian winters. It's cheerful & young sure beats the zillions of black, dark colours we usually see (including mine!). Beautiful work!! BOUND buttonholes... And I'm "afraid" of one-step regulars... ;)

This coat definitely stands out in a good way - it makes me smile just to see it. Woman, I can't believe you did bound buttonholes on that fabric - they would have taken me a lot longer than an afternoon. I guess the nicest thing I can say is that all your hard work isn't visible, I just look at this and think, "What a fabulous coat!"
12/16/07 4:11 PM
great coat , love the colors, just the thing to take away the winter grays
12/16/07 4:20 PM
Totally chic!!! Yummy fabric!
12/16/07 5:37 PM
This is lovely - a true one of a kind garment!
12/16/07 6:46 PM
I love your coat. What great colors.
12/16/07 7:42 PM
Bound buttonholes too??? If your mom doesn't like that coat, I am more than willing to take it off your hands. I'll even pay for postage!
12/16/07 10:30 PM
this is amazing. did you bag the lining or hand sew?
12/16/07 10:31 PM
Gorgeous! I love everything about it: the color, vintage style. Great craftsmanship.
12/16/07 11:54 PM
It's gorgeous.
12/17/07 5:41 AM
Lovely coat!
12/17/07 8:19 AM
Connie, this coat should be worn with a tab hanging from the collar that says " I am the artist who created that beautiful coat ". You have all reasons to be proud of it. This is a fabulous garment. I realy love your coat.
12/17/07 12:37 PM
That is a beautiful combination of fabric and style! =)
12/17/07 7:36 PM
Wow, I love it...
12/17/07 7:39 PM
You have a lovely coat that is purely timeless. The time you took was well worth the wait. The colors make me think of the clear blue sea very calming and appealing. I am surprised you have not had any one stop you to want to touch. You did an excellent job. I too like to have beauty on the inside as much as what is seen on the outside. Simply beautiful it take my breath.
