I made this coat base off a vintage rain coat I had that. The pattern and the sewing took me awhile, it was one of those projects that keep getting thrown back in the forget-about-it box. When I finally finished it, I was so tired of working on it. I just wanted to get rid of it. So I packed it up again hiding it from my sight. Finally after a year I started wearing it. This Spring I've falling back in love with it.
Clothes are weird like that. Especially ones I make. It's as if I know them too well, all the work going into them, the problem solving, the designing, cutting, sewing, ironing. It's a love/hate. They become little nuisances. But in the end my heart softens and they are worn and loved.
