Not the coat yet, but I'm blaming my son for this delay. He bought Far Cry 5 for me on the Xbox so I've been running round the wilds of Montana shooting Peggies instead of sewing. It's been fun though!
I have however managed to get my loom heddles threaded with the next project and I've sewn 2 things in the last few days.

| This is the early 18th century vest I've made for Dh |
It's silk brocade on the fronts from very deep stash and the back is a silk/wool blend fabric I bought at The Fabric Store here in Christchurch. 15 buttons and buttonholes. There is a small amount of non HA fabric lining the back as the silk/wool was a bit too stiff to use as lining as well as the outer; there is one layer of that lining the front and another narrow piece behind the button areas since I refused to fully interface the front pieces.

And now back to the studio to do some more sewing and maybe read the book on my warping up the loom as well.
