Very cute!
Love the coat! I would love to see in detail how you did the bound buttonholes.
Lovely coat!
Very nice!
Great coat, the fabrics are wonderful.
Beautifully made and so cute.
I love this coat. You did a great job of lining it. The button holes look so professional. Mine are always awful and crooked.
Looks great!
Just, LOVELY!!!!!
This is a nicccce coat. I love the buttons!!!
Great fabric choice! Superb technique (as always). I'd like to know your thought process for leaving off the button on the collar. Did you omit it on your first garment, too?This is a cute pattern; the embellishment on the pattern's bodice back draws me to it. (I agree that yours didn't need it.) I'm sure it looks really good on you! Kudos!
Hi GreystoneI knew that I wanted to wear the collar turned down on one side so I did not need the buttons there, i wanted to show the wool 🙂
Trisha, I will make a video of my bound buttonholes for you.
