Half way through
I thought I'd be brave and post a progress shot, with this terrible photograph. I'm halfway through, it's the second coat I've ever made. Made the first one under the supervision of Rory at the HTA nearly two years ago! I've been trouser making since then. I'm making this coat for me using a Jo Baker Waters draft and Rory's method. It's pretty good, I've got a few issues, mostly that it's a little "booby". I seem to have drafted for the chest I've always wanted and not the one I've got, but in some ways.... You know? Isn't that the beauty of canvas? So I need to make a few fitting adjustments, hence the lining hanging out. My plan is to complete and just "chalk it up" to experience and then start again. But, I am happy with the balance and the overall shape.



@Robbie 😂 who needs the gym right? Just never take your coat off. I might start adding canvas to tshirts!
