I have spent all weekend furiously trying to finish off my trench coat. I must warn you that there has been quite a lot of swearing involved! I have had a lot of topstitching drama – I just cannot get the tension right on my sewing machine. It is forever looping underneath and then the needle gets stuck. To top it all off I then I ran out of top stitching thread and it’s a Sunday!! But It’s all done really except for attaching the lining to the main coat and then top stitching that down + buttonholes. Not that much left to do, I am gutted I couldn’t finish it though. It’s been hanging over me for months and I feel like I can’t start anything else without finishing this off.
It’s looking good though! How annoying for you to run out of topstitching thread on a Sunday. Do you have a list of things you want to sew once this coat is out of the way?
Thank you! Funnily enough, the next thing I want to sew is supposed to be a winter coat (Colette Lady Grey)! However I might drop that for something quick and easy like a skirt or dress before I begin that venture….
Can’t wait to see it on you. I can almost see it now. Keep moving and you’ll get there.
