I like the new look coat better than it previously was. I would just have two large buttons at the front, I think four would be too fussy, but that’s my opinion 😁. I’m sure whatever you decide it will work.
Hi Dianne, I like the first version of the coat but the changes have made the coat so much better its a pitty you didnt have some matterial left because covered buttons would look good, look forward to see what buttons you decided to put on. Susan,🌺🌸🌼🌻
Sometimes we just need to wear something a while to know what works; I too hate fussing with my clothes. I’ve got a few knit dresses that I think I’d like to turn into tops instead. It feels like a “waste” to cut length off, but it’s more of a waste for them to sit on the hanger unworn! I actually prefer your coat without the panels too, you’ll get so much wear out of it now! Well done 😊
Hello Dianne, this coat looks totally different now you have removed the flaps. Much more wearable as a winter coat. I think 2 large heather coloured buttons at the front and the same but smaller for the back would make this a statement coat. This is an expensive looking coat, enjoy wearing it. I look forward to seeing it finished. Happy sewing 🧵
Hi Dianne, Congratulations on the coat! It looks super and really suits you! I want to turn a pleated wool skirt into a pinafore because it was a bit snug and I wasn’t wearing it. I unpicked the pleats and dyed the fabric a slightly darker colour. I am thinking of making the Camden pinafore from Nina Lee. It will be a challenge for me as I have only made two dresses - from cotton and linen and I have not sewn with wool before. But it will be a good learning experience! Thank you for your inspiring video!

Hi Dianne, I must admit I like the coat much better now you've made the changes and the back is great! I think you'll wear it more too. ☺xx
Hi Michelle thank you, yes I agree. ☺xx

Thank you Hayley, yes turn the dresses you don't wear into tops I have done that with a few this year and they get worn all the time now.☺

Exactly, change it then wear it. It looks like a totally different coat now Dianne.
Hi Annette, yes use all the things!
