Coat and Stuff

Thanks to everyone who has given me advice about working with the velvet, it is much appreciated.

I spent the day doing housework, including cleaning up the "craft" room so that I can see the floor. Which also means I can now get at the cupboard with the walking foot in it to tackle sewing the coat up. I really would like to have something finished before I need it. If I can get this done before the end of the year I will be really stoked.
