Taking a closer look at the Goldstream Peacoat
Since our photo shoot of the Goldstream Peacoat was a quick one a few weeks ago, Matt and I decided to bring out the sample again and take some detail shots so that, when the time comes, you will all have a more comprehensive gallery of photos to examine when you are trying to choose your fabric, decide on the variation you would like to sew or visualize how the facings work!
[gallery type="rectangular" ids="1593,1592,1595,1596,1591,1597,1598,1600,1599,1601,1602,1604"]
This sample is sewn with the ONLY black wool Fabricland in Victoria had to offer but it turns out to be of nice quality so I won't complain! The lining is a very thin rayon lining in pea green that I got from the donated fabric bin at my fashion design school last spring. I love the rich mix of pure black and bright green - pair this with silver and leather details and I think the result is classic with just a hint of 'pizzaz'. :P
On a completely unrelated note (not even sewing related!!!) I just have to show you the beautiful picture Matt took of the infused vodka that I made yesterday (inspired by this post and using this tutorial to get a general idea of how it is done):

Love the pea coat details! I look forward to seeing what your test sewers came up with as well! I have a possible coat and canning connection! A chilly walk wearing the cozy coat, followed up with the homemade cocoa I linked to, spiked with the peppermint snaps. Yum!
