Description
This must have been the hardest thing I have ever sewn!
It took me quite some time...The pattern is from a german design paper from 1992, I think. The coat is made in a soft grey wool-blend. It is quite cold in the winters in Sweden, so I put some Shetland wool as lining between the wool and the red satin lining.
The edges of the coat is (machine) embroidered with a quite nice pattern.

Haha, then maybe it is just an utopia. The more you sew, the more ideas you get... So you will basically never reach the end of the tunnel! (By that meaning that one will never get all of ones ideas into reality. "Pity" as Bilbo Baggins would have said...)

Yes, I think you are right, it's a self perpetuating circle of creativity.

It's gorgeous! Is the back under part a part of the coat? or just a dress that you have on underneath?
