National Sewing Month Ends; Coat Progress Continues

Today, we bid adieu to National Sewing Month, but I have just barely begun work on the Soho Coat. I have cut out the pattern pieces and have marked all but the front and the sleeves. I might be able to squeeze in a couple of hours of work on it this week, but I'm not sure. After all, Halloween will be coming up, and my son and I still don't have costumes yet. We're thinking Mario and Luigi. . . .
What are you sewing for Halloween?

September is National Sewing Month!

In honor of this being National Sewing Month, I'm going to begin work on a pattern that I have had for over two years. It is a Sewing Workshop pattern, the Soho Coat. I'm making it in red microfiber so I have a cheery red raincoat with a hood. I hate toting around umbrellas along with all my other bundles, so that's why I chose this pattern.

I didn't work on it because of other time commitments (primarily work and my discovery of knitting), but this gives me something dressier to wear on rainy days. I figure if I give myself an hour a day, I can make progress on this and have something snazzy to wear when it rains.
