Please don’t come for me yall; I know my blog post writing is as erratic as it can get….I’m working on it I promise!…but this post is about my GoodFellas trench coat again that I am obviously so in love with. This is my 3rd time blogging about it too (may be the fourth time)…I mean it’s one of my most perfect makes and if you sew then you know if I say it’s perfect then it very well is…
I’m running errands today, and probably going to run a few extra ones because they have been working on my apartments for literal days and I am flat TIRED of themmmmm….We haven’t had hot water or heat (in the middle of Winter) since the end of November. I still sleep with my window open and the ceiling fan no matter the cold temperatures so the heater isn’t a huge deal for me. However when I have to pretend I’m in the “olden days” and boil water for a bath I tend to wanna draw the line right there…Luckily I am old school and my baths have been quite relaxing so I won’t complain too much; they just need to hurry tf up because its just been too doggone long…
Now enough of all that complaining and onto showing off my coat AGAIN. This post also features one of my favorite old school brands; Puma. I’ve been wearing Puma for as long as I can remember and shell toes will always hold a special place in my heart…*Peter Piper is playing loudly in the background as I write this* (DJIP Jam Master Jay)….Showcasing a Puma sweatsuit I got online at least a couple years ago along with my shoes. I have many pairs of Puma sneaks but I wore these to break up the color scheme and add some color….Hey Puma if you need a new face for your gear I’m available! *not at all kidding lol*….A little info about my coat again for the newbies: I originally sewed it up in November of 2019. I used Simplicity 8554 View B but I sewed it up to look like View A. I used a tweed/suiting fabric that I had in my stash; which I probably found on one of my many thrift store trips. Looking at my notes from when I was sewing it I added and I quote: “Came out utterly perfect”. That means everything went well; no unpicking, unnecessary anger and/or cursing, and all the pieces made sense. I love, love, love when that happens.
Yall know I’ll ramble ’til I can’t no mo’ so I’ll stop and show some pictures. As always if you have questions or comments (keep your concerns to yourself) just let me know. I love to see other people’s makes as well so if you’ve sewn this pattern, another coat pattern you’d like to share, or have something you want me to sew up just comment here or send a message.
Always,
LOLA
