And Lady Mondegreen . . .

I'm very excited about the Lady Grey sew-along being organized by Gertie at her lovely blog, Gertie's New Blog for Better Sewing.  It's my first sew-along, and I've never made a coat before, but I love the pattern (Lady Grey by Colette Patterns) and have had a green wool flannel in my stash for nearly two years but have been too chicken to take the plunge.  My pattern came on Saturday, so I guess there's no turning back now.  I mean, I've already paid for the fabric and the pattern, so in for a penny.

The first step is to get my wool pre-shrunk by taking it to the dry cleaner to be steam pressed.  That'll be fun to manhandle on the bus.  Wish me luck!
