Finished, made up and being worn!
There’s not much to say here, except that the Jacobean Coat has been re-christened The Coat of Many Flowers (thanks to Sue at Tortoise Loft for the inspiration!), and is a great success.
It’s double-breasted, slightly shorter than three-quarter length, and lined with a nice figured satin to slide over woolly jumpers if necessary.
And if it doesn’t stop the traffic when Mam next strolls into town, I shall be vastly surprised!
Wow! Congratulations on a stunning coat 🙂
Wow, wow, wow! This looks fantastic. Your mum is one lucky lady!
Beautiful!

Gorgeous!. So beautiful and beautifully executed. Shy model? xx
That coat is a true crowd stopper. Drivers will crash into lamp posts!
Rachel, you have made a very beautiful embroidered coat.
Magnificent! Lovely cutting to show off your beautiful work, too. It looks glorious, Little Snaily and all. I trust I shall get to see it in person later this year.
what a wondrous garment, your Mum must be thrilled, and very proud of her talented daughter
Well done on a beautiful finish! She certainly will be stopping traffic and creating conversation!
That is just brilliant. Worth all the blood,sweat and tears.
Absolutely stunning coat! Your mother will catch every eye and all will want to know where she got it! Really beautiful wearable art.
A proud moment!! The snail is my favorite 🙂
