Well, you didn't need it, did you? ;)
The coat wasn't partially completed - it was totally not started! :D Just the yardage and the still sealed pattern. Now it's almost a coat! I got side-tracked yesterday evening, so am finishing off today. Lining is made up, outer is made up, so I just need to sew them together, hem the bottom and the cuffs, and put the hooks on...
Good idea - ditch the guilt *and* the garment... Oh, I have a lovely outfit for my sister that has been in the making for I dunnamany years! I should finish that off.
ebay it! Anything goes... ;D
