Can you tell what it is yet?
Here’s a little somethin’ I’ve been working on, can you tell what it’s supposed to be yet?
Yes! My coat is starting to finally look like a coat! *Squee!!* It desperately needs a pressing, I think I’m going to rip out and resew the hem so that the lining fabric doesn’t peek out the bottom, there’s a couple of seams that I think could use some grading, and I need to do the sleeve hems, but I’m getting pretty close I think! Also, I’ve opted to do some sew in snaps with buttons over the top (or maybe not if I can put in the snaps invisibly enough and not have weird pulling.)
Technically, I’m not supposed to have flipped it right side out like this yet, but I couldn’t resist seeing how it was coming along (and also, I wanted to make sure I had sewn the middle seam correctly–there was some misinterpretation of the instructions or just poor instructions or something with the skirt facings–either way there was much swearing) and while it was flipped, I thought this would be the perfect time to take a couple of pictures of my progress. 
Anyway, hopefully ya’ll aren’t getting bored with the progress updates on this thing, but I’ve been so excited about doing something that was so far out of my comfort zone/skill set! It’s definitely been a learning experience so far!
It looks very, very good! You will still have months of cold weather to wear it too. I am so jealous. My hopes for a new coat look slim!
Thank you! Yes, it seems I should have plenty of opportunities to wear it…if I ever finish picking out my mistakes, LOL! I hope you get your new coat sorted out–for next year if nothing else!
Looking good so far. I love the colour. So many winter coats are black or boring, it’s already dark out, why not wear red?
Thanks! My thoughts exactly!
That is looking AWESOME! That colour is rad
Thanks! I didn’t want a standard color, so I had to do a bit of searching for this perfect (for me) shade of red.
So worth it!
That looks great. The color is great – you are right, this is the perfect shade of red. I love the skirt on this coat, you are going to be adorable in it!
Thank you! It definitely gives me that hourglass-like shape, but it feels a little strange to me since I’ve always been so straight up and down.
I love this shape- how awesome is this!
Thanks! So you gonna try a coat/jacket after Jungle January is over?
Or even for Jungle January? 
I keep wanting to, but this weather is most uncoatlike. I may some non-outerwear jacketishness…perhaps in a cheetah upholstry fabric…
Sounds purrrrrrrrfect!
oh oh oh oh I am going to skip forward because I think I’ve seen that you’ve finished this already. Very excited!
