A Sherlock Coat. . . from hell.
Yes, I said it. A coat from hell. Fucking hell. Let's see . . . two months ago I did a muslin. Upon said muslin, that I will not show you as it was a tatty old sheet and flower placements enhanced my rear, chest, and well . . . for a mulsin it was even ugly. Kind of looked like Rainbow Bright procreated with Barney. Back to the coat story, shall we. Two months ago a muslin was made. Two months later I dove in, after sketching and planning, testing some squares, and . . . I cut into the houndstooth. That's purple silk charmeuse to line it. China silk to underline it. Weft fusible interfacing and horsehair rounds it out. Begin to see a pattern here? This, this, is one of those coats you plot and plan as it's gonna be nothing short of whole paycheck. Though, in theory it is a whole paycheck to, well, last until the day you die. Some pretty stuff . . . eh? The pearl cotton thread is there, but it wasn't used . . . I was, at on...
