I had been wanting to get into remaking some of my vintage patterns. This coat pattern has been floating around and finally I decided to do it. The pattern was tattered old and disintegrating even as I unfolded the instructions. So I copied the pattern onto pattern paper, made some changes to the pattern and made the coat.
The fabric is an embroidered floral fabric, patchworked with coordination silk satin and other embroidered fabrics. Also embellished with silk flowers and beads. The coat is fully lined.

They work everyday......
Everyday is a hustle and for some people it's a real grind. Although the holidays a great time to see friends and family, these folks are also trying to bring home some cheer......well rent, food, etc....the essentials.
Maybe you don't want a hot dog or a balloon, or even to hear a song sung like Frank Sinatra, you can respect the EVERYDAY HUSTLE.
The singer is Floyd Banks
