So the saga begins....
Thanks to some help from Reginleif I've got a coat plus liner all cut out and ready to sew together. It was a bit difficult finding 4 yards of wool fabric considering the sale currently happening at fabric store. So it took much debating about multiple colours and types of liners, but finally I found what I needed and spent more than I wanted. It will be awesome when I'm finished. Pictures of construction will also be posted as progress is made.
