Gertie coat sew-along: Here are my fabrics. What are yours? September 30, 2012 08:30 1 Comment
I've chosen my fabric for Gertie's Coat Sew-Along. Have you picked out yours?
I'm using an Ermenegildo Zegna wool flannel in brown, picked up at Michael's for a lowly $6 a yard, and a 3-mummy silk charmeuse purchased at a fabric store going out of business years ago. It's an icy blue, and I'll be using it to line this lovely design.
I'll be working on my muslin today. Very excited am I. Such a pretty coat. And it's labeled easy. Love that. I do.

If I would have time to sew my own coat, I’d use Plum Boucle coating from fashionfabricsclub.com (I’m not advertising their site, but I think it is worth sharing). I will tailor my own military coat with yellow piping at the edges. =)
