This will be a coat I'll love when it's finished. The lining is aqua, a little lighter than the coat.
I'm hoping to finish it this week. Famous last words!

Wow- looks great! I love the color too!
This is absolutely stunning! I love the color!!!
Gorgeous color!
Wow! That's a great trench coat!! I love the color, too.
oh wow - I love the details already - the white domes and top stitching - the flaps and the rings, epaulets, sleeve tabs, the works. That is a coat that is a loooooooooooong time in the making with those kind of details - looking fabulous!
What a beautiful coat and love the colour.
This looks fabulous, aqua is such a great color.
Wow, I love your coat, it's turning out great!
Beautiful color too.
This is looking fabulous, Gwen. Great color for a redhead!
Ooh, its beautiful! And such a pretty color. I know those words, haha. :D
Looks fabulous! The top stitching is awesome :))
What a gorgeous colour! Your jacket is beautiful. I'm sure you can't wait to wear it.
That color is gorgeous!
What a great summer trench... my clothes talk to me too!!
Beautiful coat! When it comes to coats I normally look for simple, but a trench coat is a testimony to its military origins. Your coat is a true classic with its storm flaps, epaulets, cuff belt & topsticthing... love it.
I knew I was going to love this and I do! Yummy!
This trench coat looks great! I love the A-shape and details and the colour you chose is adorable. This is going to be very unique :)
I LOVE your trench coat!!!!! The color and design - WONDERFUL!!!! Where did you find this great pattern? What kind of fabric did you use? QUESTIONS, many questions!
OK, I know it's been said, but that color is FABULOUS!! Love it!
I like everything on your trench coat;color,top stitching,pattern...
Simple, I love it!
Gwen, I am in love with your trench coat. Love the color. Fantastic job. Can't wait to see it on.
Very pretty!! I know what you mean by those famous last words! I have buttons to put on my rain coat, but my button hole foot doesn't make button holes that big. I have practiced making them without the automatic foot, but it is difficult on the laminated cotton I used. I have put so much time into the coat that I am at a loss as to what to do about the buttonholes! I thought I would have all of it finished over a month ago . . .
Thanks so much for the review of the Simplicity Binding machine. I am waiting for mine, sometimes the mail is so slow ;o) I was having doubts after I order it becasue I have not actually seen the machine. Your review has made me feel good about my purchase.
I have been searching for sewing and quilting Blogs and ran across yours. I decided to follow yours after reading the review and your profile bit on the Home page. We are the same age so I think I will enjoy your posts. We have most likely the same memories of patterns, sewing machines, notions etc from the past. I am looking forward to following your Blog. I have just started a Blog of my own. However I am so new to Blogging it is going to take me awhile to figure out all the things to make it a Blog folks will actually want to follow.

Gwen, this is so pretty .I love the colour. Do you despise working with the lining like I do. If only there were a lining fairy out there!!!
