Project: McCall’s 8814, Coat (1952), part 4

Readers,

I spent a productive Sunday and part of today making lots of progress since my last post, as you can see.

I now have two units: the coat unit and the lining unit.

I slid the lining unit inside the coat to give you (and me) a sense of what the finished coat will look like.

I wish my photos could capture the richness of this deep turquoise lining against the speckled brown wool.  I like this color combination.

What’s left to do?

• covering and inserting shoulder pads
• sewing on buttons
• hemming the coat and lining, and

stitching these two big units together.

So far, so good.

Back to work.
