We're moving to England to help out with Oasis church as soon as we get everything together and sell our house! Lately mum and I have been sorting through stuff, selling some thing and giving some stuff to friends. I think the hardest is going through our fabric stash. But in a way it's nice to get off to a fresh start. I'm keeping a box full of my favorites though to see if I can get it sewn up before we leave. :)
First thing I'm working on is a wool coat. I had a wool coat on my shopping list to buy before we move and one day I found a wool blanket I used to use for Civil War reenacting, I was about to toss it in the "give away" pile when I suddenly thought..."Wool coat"!
I bought this pattern awhile back, so I am trying it out:
Here is the gray plaid wool blanket which I matched with some heavy gray fabric for the lining leftover from my Jane Bennet Housecoat :
Here is another plaid wool blanket I used for reenacting I'm going to make into a coat. I matched it with some dark blue fabric left over from dad's pirate coat. I hope there's enough! This one I want to use the wool for the lining and the blue fabric for the outside.
Progress so far on my gray coat:
I've also sorted through a ton of my costumes! I put a few in my etsy shop. So, you can take a look at those if your interested in any. :)Well, that's pretty much it for now! I'll try to keep updated as we progress. :)
