I bought something similar to thinsulate, as the LFS was out of thinsulate. I don't remember what she called it, but what I bought resembles a thick synthetic craft felt. Slightly less stiff and slightly more fluffy than craft felt. Now that the coat is assembled, I think it's too thick. My daughter thinks it's wonderful and warm, so that's okay, I guess. Also, I never did find the direction pages 2 and 3, so the construction is probably a little unorthodox. I assumed that since there were several separate pattern pieces for the lining that they would be cut slightly smaller. That does not appear to have been the case. Either that, or the thickness of the insulation is changing the lining's fit. If I hadn't whip stitched the insulation pieces together over the lining seams (to make it lay flat) I think I would go back and add another 1/8 in to the lining seams. A few of them, at least, but undoing the hand stitching, re-sewing the seams, trimming the insulation and re-stitching just seems like a little too much work. ;-) Well, thanks for all the advice! When the hem and buttons are done, I'll post a photo on flickr for anyone who wants to see it.

Re: [h-cost] NHR patterns
Is it a current pattern? If so, they were on sale for .99 up through yesterday at Joanns. I would check if you have a Hancocks nearby and see if they might be on sale there.

Re: [h-cost] NHR patterns
This is a really cute coat! I think so too -- making it for my 14 yo daughter in a mostly black plaid. Since we don't have enough fabric, the lapels and pocket flaps are plain black wool, same as the lining. She wanted it without either the bottom ruffle, or the sleeve ruffles, so it's a hybrid of the views shown. As a winter coat, it will need some insulation in-between the fabric and the lining. Any suggestions? I was thinking the old-fashioned all-cotton quilt batting, sandwiched between some gauze would work, but since I'm posting OT here anyway, I thought I'd ask for suggestions of something better. Better as in: warmer and already faced with something. Denise B Iowa ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Re: [h-cost] NHR patterns
I would definitely need more insulation than even a flannel backed lining satin - Thinsulate is my fave.
