I also took a close up of my fabric. It is called "Boucle" and that is the little black nubs that you see sticking out of the fabric.
Next, I worked on the sleeves. Kenneth says to add "Wiggin" to the bottom of the sleeve edge to keep it from stretching. I didn't have this, so I cut some muslin on the length wise grain where there is no stretch and used this. Wiggin is a very thin cotton. If you are wondering why I have a safety pin in my fabric, that is to tell me which is the right side. If I didn't have that, I would never be able to tell.
I have the sleeves and the sleeve lining finished and you can see the cuff has been attached.
I also have the lining front and back attached together and put it on my duct tape dummy. It is starting to come together now and look like a coat!
Well, that was a good mornings work. I have some more tacking this evening of the seams and hopefully can work on it a little bit tomorrow! I hope you are enjoying the follow along! Thanks! Cindy

It's looking so very nice! Love the inside and back side shots...they show so much more that the pretty side, don't you think? If I even get to the end of my brides, I sure would like to tackle this project and watch more of the class videos.
