Winter coats from book- lyall bayCoat 2

I was looking through some old photos and found these that I took while preparing images for my book. They were taken about this time last year, on a late-afternoon walk down at Lyall Bay beach. The project I was photographing was the 'winter coat' pattern (pg 112) which is a very simple design for a lined, hooded jacket that fastens with two toggles slightly to the side of the front. I used a thick grey corduroy for the outer and this lining print for Arlo's coat and some tweedy wool with cotton lawn lining for Keira's. These photos weren't used in the final book but I like them anyway, and their misty wild feel which I think captures a South coast Wellington beach nicely.

    These are great pictures! My boyfriend is in Wellington right now and says it’s quite cold.

    There is a lovely wintery mood to these photos. I do love the look of that coat pattern.
    By the way, I received your book in the mail yesterday. I absolutely love it, and I can see myself making many of the projects. It is up there with my favourite crafty book Handmade Home. The difficult decision is which project to start with?
