One month ago today, I wrote a post entitled "Copycatting" in which I posted three pictures of garments I was inspired to make. I finished Inspiration #1 and Inspiration #2 fairly quickly, but it took me a looooooooong time to get finished with the final one: the winter coat.
Here's what I was working from:

I told you about my progress on this coat here and here and here. I feel like there isn't too much more to say about this coat that I haven't already said, but I will say this: I am very pleased with the final result - I love the color, I love the lining, and I'm really proud of the hours of work that I put into it. It certainly isn't perfect but (if there is a) next time, I'll just be that much more ahead on my coat-making skills!
And finally (drum roll please), here's what I came up with!
