[Nfb-krafters-korner] FRIDAYS QUESTION-What have you made that you are most proud of?

[Susan Roe]

I am most proud of the colonial style, full length coat I made for my 
husband about 10 or 12 years ago.  It was patterned from a sketch in one of 
our colonial clothing books that was sent to Martha Washington as a suitable 
coat for George to use while on survey work either on foot with snowshoes or 
on horseback.

He was so tickled I was doing it for him that while we were cutting out the 
different pieces in heavier and lighter weight wool, he kept snatching the 
pieces and holding them up against his chest or taking the half sewn sleeves 
and putting them on, trying to see what it would look like.  It took me 
nearly 4months because I only did the long straight seems on the machine and 
the rest by hand.  There were the two shoulder seems, the modified collar, 
and the attached shoulder length cape that required seem thicknesses of five 
or more layers of cloth.  He wanted to where it to Williamsburg when we 
stayed there for four days for our anniversary 12/19.  I was sewing on 
buttons as soon as we checked into the hotel so it would be ready for him to 
where.  It is so heavy, it really has to be at least in the 40's or colder 
for him to where.
