aahh lovely pictureOnce upon a time I had found fantastic outdoor fabric and weeks later fell in love with this super soft, furry stuff. Together in my head I envisioned this unique (in a really good way!) looking and warm coat. Uhhhmmm yes. Sometimes fabrics just don't like each other or I have to admit that maybe I should have thought it through a bit longer. From sausage arms to a zipper that cannot be zipped (all that fur is in the way) and also I look fat! I take offense to that since I lost 24 lbs... DH thinks it looks like a coat for a pimp. Definitely not what I had in mind. I laughed so hard I almost cried when I put it on finally. Oh goodness!!
But can I fix it???? I am determined to end up with a nice coat. Hey that lining was pricey!!
Stay tuned when the story of the awful Winter coat continues! : 0 )

LOL Been there. So how about taking the fur out of the sleeves and lining that with something light weight - would avoid the sausages and you can't see the fur in the sleeves anyway. You could always put a tiny bit a the cuff if you want to see it peeking out. Just a thought. You could do something similar for the lining of the body - use a lighter weight fleece and leave the fur just at the edges so you can see it when it's worn - but it won't contribute to much bulk and you can still save the whole coat. Sorry about the outcome but i have so been there - it's the reason i quit sewing for myself for a long time. Congrats on the weigh loss though. Cheers
Oh no Yvonne! I hope you can salvage the coat.
I love this post! Yvonne you are awesome!
I am laughing my bum off right now!!! but I do see the fabulous idea!!!
I liked the ideas Caroline offered. If it was still too bulky, you could further reduce the fur in the lining. I LOVE the idea of your coat-I love the idea of pink trim! Keep playing with it and it could become your new favorite. Congrats on your weight loss too!
Love the dog tail!
