My coats almost finished
its making me anxious because I can't sew fast enough, because you have to sew slowly.
Damn.
I was going to make it buttons but im going to use a dual opening heavy duty plastic zipper i got years ago in dressew (tears)
so these are really bad pics. basically covered a coat with crepe and made a waterproof hood from a hood i found. water resistant. it had a fur inside part which im going to make into an outside part for another coat. also the sleeves are made of pants. and the inside part, the light blue denim, is also pants. i wanted black but i didnt have any fabric i wanted to use. my mind isnt settled enough to make patchwork from the available black i had (panel skirt)

 this bottom panel for the pocket is crepe, interface, and polyester felt zoink! it looks great, though the rest isnt interfaced and you can see the plaid through the crepe which i find lol. also my crooked double stitching

sewing the zipper and then the bottom, and any other details. im getting anxious wish it was already finished it feels like its taken weeks due to lack of work flow and materials.

well the zippers in, it seams crooked - ha. i didnt iron enough at all
and i hate the light blue on the inside OMG i wish it was black. so dumb. im going to have to do something about that in the future. right now its just the sleeves and the bottom part and then i can take a selfie wearing it
or something.
my first coat had so many problems and they're never going to end until i finish working on it.
im already looking forward to making a second coat...with mild apprehension because i didnt copy the lining pattern.
