There is forum thread on Etsy where people chat about what they are working on at the moment, Its wonderful escape from what is taking over our lives, way to make money and Christmas is not far away. Read somewhere that when you make things with your hands – your brain switches off. The thing that makes me proud of myself right now is repairing an old mustard colored trench coat rediscovered in a bad way.
Sometimes you don’t reallise things have left your life until you find them again. Things left as your life took off – how its meant to be.
Bought new lining material from Ray Stitch using the old lining as a template; olive wood buttons and many Fox and Butterfly patches from Etsy and now this much loved coat is almost back.
