lol. I resorted to a dust mask and goggles last time I sewed with fake fur - seriously. Breathing it in was not nice. And that was a much smaller item than this. Your coat is great though. I like how the stripes worked out, especially the way the sleeve stripe flows over the shoulder. I hadn't seen this pattern before and I'm very interested now so thanks for drawing my attention to it.

You did a wonderful job and will serve as an inspiration to many. YOur sister is a lucky woman.

Well, it is just gorgeous! You did a terrific job for your sister. Everytime I'm tempted to buy fake fur, I will read this review. Off to bookmark it right now.

Oh my. I haven't sewn with fake fur yet, but I must say the results look like they are worth all your trouble. The coat looks awesome! You do indeed have a very lucky sister. :)

Superb job on this! And I do sympathize; it's just horrible stuff to work with. Thanks for the laugh, your review is excellent :-)

Ha! I'm so glad I took a break to read your review. :o)) I'm "laughing out loud," as they say -- really! I HEAR YA' on the fake fur. I made a fake fur jacket for my niece, and I said NEVER AGAIN. I won't even make a fake fur COLLAR. :o))) BUT, look how nice this coat turned out! It's beautiful, and I know your sister LOVES it -- or else! :o) Great job, as usual, and a very entertaining review, to boot. I can just see you picking all the fur out of the seams with that needle. :o)))

I've had the same experience with fake fur!

Congratulation for surviving this sewing experience. You made me laugh a good deal. The coat looks so good. It does not show that you wished all your heart that the experience would be over fast. As I said, the result is beautiful !

I think this coat is wonderful. Sorry the fur was such a p-----. Am I doomed to never use that beautiful fur in my stash closet? Not even for a hat?

Good match of fabric, or fur, to pattern. Works well.

Your sister's coat turned out beautifully!

Ooooo, the photo of this gorgeous coat was calling my name. Then I read your review and decided to temper my enthusiasm. I'll have to be content to envy your sister from a distance. Your reviews are always so full of spirit.

Last time I did fake fur I used Sandra Betzina's suggestions - zigzag at the edges without seam allowances, less cutting, no hair in the wrong places. It worked great and the jacket's holding up just fine. I recommend it.. Apart from that, I think your jackets looks great, and this looks like a good pattern, so hopefully you'll mellow into it as the winter progresses :-)..
