    what a lovely novelty outfit, but so classy! How many yards of material did you have to get?

  3. Have you ever seen a dress worn by the sisters of the Old German Baptist Brethren Church? Those dresses are quite similar to the one you pictured. Photos can be found here, for instance: http://www2.ljworld.com/stories/2008/may/06/living_book/western_district_brotherhood/

  5. Hello Samantha,
    I'm Trish from Germany and I have just seen the photo of this fantastic coat on pinterest. I'm just trying to sew a similar one but without a pattern it's a bit tricky to do. So my question is: Have you got a pattern and where did you get it from. I would be very grateful for an answer.
    Nice regards Trish
