But I have a question. My plan for the lining all along in my head has been sherpa (organic from Micheal Miller). Do you think I will face problems because it is too thick to sew with for the lining? I am trying to make a very very warm coat.<br /><br />Thanks for any info. Hi Liesl-
I am about to embark on making this coat in a lovely chocolate/grey wool melton. But I have a question. My plan for the lining all along in my head has been sherpa (organic from Micheal Miller).

Thanks for any info.

Keep extending your sizes up because she is almost in a 10 and we love your designs! (I'd buy adult patterns too!) I am so excited to see patterns in size 8 for my little girl!

Lots of good stuff there. And Heather, I've never seen such a fabric. Wow, I'm really curious about that! April, the first fabric is lighter in weight than the others--it's a thinner tweed, rather than a true wool coating. I can't recall ever seeing a heavier tweed, but that does sound like it would be a nice fabric. Thanks, everyone! Norasroom, thanks for the link! Lots of good stuff there.
