Spooky Embroidery Continued

In the last post about this embroidered coat, I mentioned the better of the two pockets. Here it is! Perhaps not perfect, but better than the last one. 

Garment sewing is slow when you're only making one thing. I'm sure if I was making a dozen I would be at about the same point in construction as I am with just the one. I finished the lining and even used my sleeve board for what it is intended. Most often I use it to press bags once they are turned. 

I assembled the lining with the serger. Lining fabric is always so slippery and has a tendency to fray. It's almost sad this bright lining will be hiding under the coat. I'm hoping to make more progress over the next few days. Maybe I can have this done by Halloween. Though I don't think it's likely.
