I don’t like admitting my procrastination. I like to pretend that it’s tucked away somewhere, nice and neat, so I can forget about it…
I am SUCH a procrastinator.
How do I know?
I have a box of projects five feet long and three feet deep.
Crazy, yes? Yes. Today, I’m going to try to finish as many of them as possible. But this might come back and bite me in the ass, because I cut out the pieces for a new coat.
I couldn’t help it! I saw it here and thought it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. It’s adorable. The thing is, I spotted the pattern in the online catalog, and thought “Whew, that thing is ug-lay.” I mean, really, look at it.
It’s not all that great. Really. The short jackets are cute, but the long coat? It’s so blaugh. But I saw gopoundsand’s coat and knew I needed to make it. I’m making it in a soft yellow flannel, with a yellow and white gingham lining that was $1 a yard at Wal*Mart. I wanted four 1″ buttons, but I couldn’t find any that I sufficiently liked, so instead I got six 3/4″ buttons in the shape of little daisies. And I’m definitely making a hood.
The only thing I might add is pockets. I like pockets. You can never have too many pockets. Will it work? I have no idea. I’m going to try it.
