Still massively busy and stressed out here but I have at least managed to fit in a bit of sewing. I finished the grey coat - unfortunately far to late to be able to wear it this year. Oh well, it'll just have to hang in the wardrobe until next May, unless someone whisks me off to a northern hemisphere holiday soon (hint hint).
Anyway, here it is...
The skirt with floating patch pockets...
Bound seams on the inside of the skirt...
Super cute lining...
And a front and back view...Sorry, the sunlight is so harsh these pictures are a bit washed out.
Sadly it is a little snug. Those few kilos I have always battled have become a few more lately grrr. I just don't have the energy to deal with it right now.
I'll do a proper review in the next couple of days.
In other news, I start another class tomorrow night. It is with the same teacher as the corset class (yes, I will do a wrap up of that soon) but this time I will be learning about lingerie.

Cute! Haha I also like the separate bodice & skirt in themselves, you know me and my penchant for not-quite-finished things ;)
Your coat looks great!
Your coat looks terrific! And won't it be great to have a new coat when your weather turns cool again?
Not only is the coat great.. special things I like: the bound inside seams and that long deep back pleat. TY for sharing it

Josie, your coat is fantastic and I too gave gained about an inch in my hips:( I do love the coat congratulations and good luck on your lingerie class!
Love the coat. I had the same issue with a jacket this year, so I let out the vent. I don't know when I'll shift the weight and I can still wear my jacket comfortably.
the floating pockets are very cute. I wish I had some sewing skills. I envy you
