笔记	It's autumn here and has been unusually cold already, so I wanted a proper warm winter coat before winter actually starts. This'll do the job! I didn't make any major pattern alterations. The sleeve head was puffy and just had too much fabric, so I shaved some off before inserting the sleeves, and the sleeves themselves were far too baggy around the bicep so I took them in as much as possible. I suppose the coat is designed to be worn over thick woollen jumpers, but I wear fine merino jumpers and don't need all that space. I used reflective fabric for the pocket flaps, undercollar, half belt, and a stripe inside the pleat. I also made bound buttonholes rather than ordinary ones. I liked that this pattern has proper lining pieces and decent pockets, so I didn't have to make my own pattern pieces for those like I often do with Lekala patterns.
