I recently made a coat for a dear friend. It challenged me in new ways and tested my patience as my sewing machine suffered a major malfunction when I was nearly complete.
But it re-inspired me. I can create from my ideas. I can create from pictures. I can create beautiful things for wonderful people.
Burberry lookout… less than $50 of materials including silver buffalo nickel buttons (perfect for a gal moving to Europe) and gorgeous coat weight Pendelton wool:
(Just wish I had a picture of the inside – the lining was sewn to the front facing with a beautiful deep wine color piping detail. And the front placket hides a silver metal zipper.)
