I joined the Great Coat Sewalong earlier in the year and am no where near completion on my coat. I have changed my mind about what to do so many times. I finally decided to use some soft black wool twill from stash and put a celtic knotwork design down the centre in trapunto. Well, I have the trapunto stitched with batting and stuffed with acrylic yarn for some more depth.

Now to cut out the coat! It is a OOP Vogue pattern # 2449.
I plan to do a long single breasted version, with a bit of flair in the skirt.

Fortunately it is a timeless style and will still be wearable in years to come. However it won't match the scarf I knit in the summer.
