Yes, agreed! I just finished the Lady Grey (sort of ...) and I'm not going to attempt anything so time-consuming and complicated 'til I've forgotten. <br /><br />Yours looks fab! I loved that pattern since you first posted it. A classic coat in a classic color. And lovely shift dress with lace (I'm playing catch up!) I particularly like that it's got a bit of shape.<br /><br />You know, I've been thinking about your refashion posts -- it'd be great to work something like that into your awesome challenges -- one day or one week in Me-Made-March/May that's a refashion day. I'd love to see how folks are breathing new life into old garments. <br /><br />Or perhaps an unrelated day (say Earth Day, though I suspect that's not an international holiday? Saving the world one refashioned frock at a time?) Anyway, I'm done rambling :)Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575104493258544397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-50725101079776169482010-12-14T00:02:22.125+00:002010-12-14T00:02:22.125+00:00I really love the style of this coat.

I am sadly coming to terms with the fact that the winter coat I made this past fall, while fabulous, is not quite Canadian-winter-worthy (though still better than what I wore last winter)... so if I can find money for truly top-notch materials, and energy, I'll probably be tackling a similar problem again next year. >_<Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
