Coat in progress

It seemed best to start from the innards, and work outwards.  I've been piecing together two layers of sweaters (acrylic mostly) and one layer of blanket into a thick vest.  Sleeves, collar, outer shell, lining, and zipper to follow.

The coat shape is a simpler, larger version of a shirt.

When re-using sweaters, it is best to stitch along the edges before actually cutting them, so that the knitting doesn't unravel.

The machine sewing is going about as well as usual.  I decided it was time to take a break when the needle fell way down into the machine when I was cleaning lint out of it.  I'm going to have to turn the machine upside down and shake it to get it out.
