cl0ckw0rkf0xThis coat is taking longer than I thought. The three layers (shell, thinsulate, and flannel backed satin lining) have made the pattern complicated. I would like to make the same pattern as a fall jacket, perhaps with a different fabric, and it would take half as long.
But the three layers have made things interesting, especially since one layer is the thinsulate, which is *very* thick. In places, I'm ending up having to sew through four layers of it, on top of four layers of denim; I'm amazed that my sewing machine has not complained, or really had trouble dealing with it at all. It's a good little machine, this new one - I love it.
I hope to have it finished sometime next week, since I probably won't have time to work on it over christmas weekend. Hmm, I wonder if I could take it to Dad's house to work on it. Then I could work on it with grandma. I bet grandma would like that. Yeah, as long as I have a ride.
