A wet Sunday afternoon was ideal for sewing! I made good progress with stitching together bits of lining and facings for my coat. I ran low on thread of a vaguely matching colour, but Mum (lives next door) had some suitable stuff in her sewing box. She doesn’t sew any more and was happy to pass thread on to me 💚 #sewing

When I started sewing up my coat I had 32 separate pieces of fabric (plus 8 of interfacing) - now I’m down to 2 💪🏼 Next stage is to join those together, but that will be on another day. If you’re wondering why the sleeves are a different colour from the rest of the lining, that’s one of the compromises from using recycled fabric! That’s also why there’s a lack of pattern matching. The sleeves won’t really be visible and are nice and slippery to help slide them on 😆 #sewing
