Rounding third...


Very Quick Update: Tomorrow evening I leave for a business trip to London, and I am determined to wear Lady Grey to the airport. Right now, all that is left to do is final topstitching (the lining is in!!!), sewing the sleeve lining to the sleeve hem, and sewing on the belt loops and snaps (I decided on large snaps rather than buttons).

There are some optional finishing steps that I'll do if I get the time, like invisibly stitching the lining to the coat shell along the princess seams and sewing the lining hem to the coat hem. 

Thank you to everyone who has been cheering me on with this project - your comments have really kept me going. I can't wait to show you the final pictures!

You'll definitely be able to use your Lady Grey here! It is still chilly.

I just know you will arrive at the airport in style! Don't forget to add a pin to the lapel.

I have read all your progress posts on lady grey and have enjoyed your determination to finish it. And hoping you will be able to wear your LG. Looking forward to your LG debut.
