I adore this coat. It will be the first coat I've made, so I'm nervous. I wondered if someone could recommend a place to buy wool for a reasonable price. The sites I've found are very expensive...especially considering it is for my daughter (who will quickly grow out of it) and that I am a relatively new sewer (so I'll need to buy extra yardage to make up for user error :). I think I'd prefer wool, but I'd be open to corduroy too. It doesn't get that cold where we live, so I don't need anything super heavy. Thanks SO much!
