I’m very pleased with my finished Clare Coat. It’s not perfect by any means, but it fits, it’s wearable, warm, and it’s my favorite color!
I would not recommend interlining your first coat with Thinsulate. It was a bit of a mess. I wish I had kept it simple the first time around instead of being so ambitious. But, I made it work in the end. I think my Grandma would be proud of me.
Pattern is Clare Coat by Closet Core patterns: a great first coat to make! They have lots of tutorials. Fabric is wool melton from Vogue Fabrics, and lining is China silk.

It looks great, such a lovely colour on you. I bet it’s super warm with the thinulate lining though.

I had troubles when I used thinsulate but I put on my lining. If it were less stiff it would be much easier to handle. Your coat is wonderful,and that blue is perfect for you!

Your fav color, it fits, warm – what’s not to like?? Can’t see the imperfections from a galloping horse, as they say –
