I tried it on and felt so glamorous --- unfortunately, I was wearing a black outfit and ended up with an immense amount of gray fibers all over my clothes! A lint brush is a must! Can't wait to see your finished version!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994553975406806627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-30155707295294364202011-01-15T10:56:07.957+08:002011-01-15T10:56:07.957+08:00Ugh, now you're making me jones for a faux fur...Ugh, now you're making me jones for a faux fur coat too.

Very versatile and also a great patter for all sorts of alterations; I redrafted the collar to get a more sixties coat in the style of Mad Men and it worked out perfectly.<br />Love your fur choices too!coffeeaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08719243899202995984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-82541230431589368192011-01-12T16:56:18.837+08:002011-01-12T16:56:18.837+08:00OK, OK, spelling corrected!!OK, OK, spelling corrected!!AllisonChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431369603470575306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-43193701831939911562011-01-12T12:45:08.424+08:002011-01-12T12:45:08.424+08:00http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/with_bated_breathhttp://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/with_bated_breathAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-33869884782255240372011-01-12T11:11:00.524+08:002011-01-12T11:11:00.524+08:00Umm, wow, this is fabulous!

Also, if you sew as Sandra Betzina preconises, no seam allowances and just zigzagging over the edge after combing gently the fur to the inside, you have no need of this orgy of allowance shaving that everyone seems to indulge in, and which will cause much more loose fur to lodge in every corner of your sewing room.. Really, fake fur is fun, and housework is not, this shouldn't be masochism :-).Marie-Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-31063279471904206602011-01-11T21:14:16.542+08:002011-01-11T21:14:16.542+08:00That coat is great and I love the nail color.That coat is great and I love the nail color.Erica Bunkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07023668349294387098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-13989556450660083912011-01-11T20:51:47.092+08:002011-01-11T20:51:47.092+08:00Fun, fun, fun!!
