I was hesitating because of my CRAZY busy schedule and fear of making a coat, but I am throwing my hat in the ring (is that the correct saying?)

While I LOVE Colette Patterns and the fabulous styles they're doing, I think the lapels aren't really my style and I've been obsessing about the Vogue 8346 Coat pattern ever since you made the fantastic red coat. I figured since you have sewn that pattern, I'd sew along with that pattern instead. I don't know if I can afford fabric yet, so thus far I'm planning on participating in the muslin/fitting stage. <br /><br />Congratulations on your book deal, btw!! How exciting!! <br /><br />Jealous that I'm not in the New York area and can't go shopping with you New Yorkers...Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00307218499668491498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-12882375046624712492010-08-27T23:36:17.781-04:002010-08-27T23:36:17.781-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05067738773654684701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-65668514999271409812010-08-27T20:03:41.646-04:002010-08-27T20:03:41.646-04:00Thank you for starting this sew along.

Heading to the fabric shop tomorrow to check out the options...<br /><br />I've never fitted anything so tailored - I have large post-partum boobs which are two sizes bigger than my hips and a size bigger than my waist. Am I looking at an FBA? I'm never sure which measurement I should start from tbh.<br /><br />My other question is about lengthening the sleeves - possible or not? Not for this version, but if it works I'd like another that could be a mac for this silly english weather.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597247799128387129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-3521014097631780792010-08-26T20:55:47.235-04:002010-08-26T20:55:47.235-04:00I just ordered my Lady Gray pattern.

As a former lurker amidst the shadows, I'm thrilled to join this project. I plan to make my Lady Gray as a basic wardrobe staple in camel-colored rainwear fabric. Here are some great resources for anyone else wishing to purchase hard-to-find rainwear fabric for this project.<br /><br />I'll be looking for some affordable silk fabric for the lining in a fun pattern.
