1876 Girl's Coat Part 3...

The mockup fit my daughter.  I added a little length at her request so the coat will go to about mid-thigh.  Now most of the wool has been cut and most of the linen.  I need to dig up a piece big enough for the front and skirt.  Then I'm good.  When the coat is together, I will cut out the sailor collar.  I'm not sure what kind of trim I want to use yet.  The shell is a black herringbone wool.  I had big enough scraps left over from my man's frock coat.  I now have a few smaller scraps that I can make something for me baby.  Clothes for three, out of 6 yards and I still have about 8 yards left for something else.

Now to take a break from cutting and enjoy some sewing and some more "Blake's 7".
