A wool coat is the perfect garment to keep warm during the winter months. Underlined with cotton flannel, this coat is heavy duty and incredibly cozy! Well, it certainly does the trick for a Bay Area winter - if I lived in the Dakotas or Wyoming, I think I would have to hibernate all winter long because I am not a fan of cold weather (read: anything below 40 degrees is considered frigid in my world).

For some projects, I start with a length of fabric, then find the perfect pattern. For others, the perfect pattern is found, but the right fabric eludes me for years.
This particular pattern was purchased back in 2006. I first was inspired to create a coat dress in a light-weight green damask fabric. Well, I dreamed up a fabric that did not exist, or at least, one I could not find, and since that time, I have pulled the pattern out each winter season, determined to make something out of it!
This winter I found the perfect wool coating material. It has an interesting weave, and some white cross patterns running through it - enough added interest to make the coat special, but not enough to make matching plaids or stripes a real pain the in the behind.

I am also glad someone else appreciates the value of a good wool coat, I really think that wool done properly is superior in some ways to synthetics.
