I wanted to break up my posts and show the coat separately. I have the basic coat together, I just need to sew in the sleeves and the lining. I am debating on whether or not to trim them out with a faux leather. I like the look on my tester, so I think I will. I am still debating on trimming out around the neck and down the front.
The brocade fabric I have had for several years. It is upholstery weight.

| Getting ready to sew in the pocket facing. |

| Pocket facing sewn in and turned. |

| Adding the pocket facing to the front of the coat. |
 |
| It looks complicated, but I was suprised to find it quite easy. |
 |
| Finished pocket. |
 |
| It needs a good pressing. |
 |
| The back turned out so pretty. |
 |
| Just needs the sleeves and lining. |
 |
| Still needs that pressing. The sleeve caps are basted in and the sleeve is pinned in. |

Just checking out the tester pinned to the sleeve to see if I like the faux leather trim. I think I do. I think I will sew it with a brown thread on the finished coat.
I finally found a fur collar the other day. Love the color. I was hoping for one a little wider but now that I have it pinned on I think the width is good. Please excuse the safety pins, I have 3 buckles I am getting ready to sew on.
Let me know what you think. I will post more photos and I get it finished and I'll try for a photo shoot before Comic-Con.
