Yes, that is incredibly helpful. Thanks for clarifying re: the pocket stitching and for the tips about getting the fit right and what to look for – plus skipping muslin!

I was not going to…[Read more]

And I have for 15 years had a Rowenta fixation believing they were wonderful irons. But I did a silly thing and basically ruined the last iron which I never had any issues with. When I went to buy a new iron, of course, I thought I would get a Rowenta. I read about the leaking and other issues…[Read more]

I got some and will try it. I finally was able to upload a picture of the pattern for the larger size and wanted clarification on how this should be cut. It seems like piece 2 is on the fold and 1 and 3 are not — is that right?

Thank you!

Hopefully, I will do that in the next day or so.

I have the Carolina Herrera Double-Faced Wool Coating fabric, the salmon-beige-orange like color, one of the ones you recommended (a fluke that I have it; it was a surprise).

This is fantastic. I originally got the pattern for the dress but I happened to have one of the amazing wools you suggested (the Carolina Herrera salmon-beige-orangeish color – it is very unusual color). So I really want to try the coat (it is cold in NYC!) and am happy you are doing a sew-along. But I am a few steps…[Read more]
