A wet day, no cycling, winter coming. . . what to do, what to do? Ah, go buy material and make a coat. Essential items once that's done; coffee, sticky bun, smelly black pen, and cartridge paper.
And then the attempts to match fabric to design. I eventually went (roughly) for the coat on this sketch.
Although I inclined toward this one - which would have been much harder to construct.
but I'm happy with my 'blanket' coat - loose enough to accommodate the various garments I'll wear under it. A double button - each one made up of two buttons together, paua and painted wood. Feels comfy on too.
