Your vlog/blog and my Tailoring book is very helpful.<br /><br />I totally shutdown after cutting the pattern last Nov and decided to finish it. Low and behold while looking online help for inserting lining, you popped up.<br /><br />You've made an amazing coat and I'm on Vlog three now.<br /><br />Have a great day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134749492526030711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-50352516393703718862010-01-12T04:53:45.548-05:002010-01-12T04:53:45.548-05:00Gertie the coat looks fantastic and so do you - mo...Gertie the coat looks fantastic and so do you - most inspiring! emilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-19795799674563353802010-01-12T04:09:39.886-05:002010-01-12T04:09:39.886-05:00Wow Gertie 89 comments.

I love the way the skirt swings when you swirl!<br /><br />Your concerns about the tailoring reminded me of my most recent (and only) coat making experience. Last month I finished a coat, and when I modeled it for my boyfriend he said, "It looks really nice. It just looks like it needs to be tailored a little." Can you imagine? I spent hours making the plaid match, putting each piece together perfectly, painstakingly sewing, and in the end, was told it looked great, but just needed to be tailored! Not the review that I wanted!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04679687508093366057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-58790926387167058782010-01-11T21:12:54.535-05:002010-01-11T21:12:54.535-05:00Well done!
