A Grey Red Ruby Coat.






I found the most aborable coat in the winter 2008 Ottobre Mag, after much soul searching to decide if I had what it takes to make it, and many more battles before I cut into the $30 a metre pure wool, having to buy new lining as I was 10cm short of what I had, and taking 2 long hours to get the button holes finished (after losing and then finding the buttons), I am very proud to
say IT'S HERE!!!
So tell me what do you think?

Oh WOW thats beautiful. I bought a pattern to do my girls a coat and my soul searching said 'no' to me being ready to tackle it! Maybe next year! You did a beautiful job!
