I am slowing getting my planned projects going for fall/winter. The next project is the Love Notions Octave Coat. The pattern and instructions have been printed. Next, will be taping the pattern together. That is the down fall of a pdf pattern but you can print it as many times as you need which is a plus. I noticed this past week that the pattern had been updated. As far as I can tell the change is adding a new lapel. Then, I saw that there was a new class for the Octave Coat available. So it was a yes please, I will take that class. Another benefit is that by taking the class you get instructions for making a zipped version of the coat.
This will probably be a slow sew for me. I never seem to get things done quickly any more. Even when it should be a quick project. Just does not happen. However, the weather has decided to cool off and I really meant for this to be done before that happened. I am not planning for this to be a heavy coat more like an intermediate coat as the fabric is a suiting weight. This will be the first coat that I can remember making. I hope it goes well.
How has your sewing been going? Have you made a coat before? How did it turn out?
Happy Stitching!
