I wanted to start a Christmas coat for my daughter but had to use stash yarn or wait for the next paycheck. I used 3 strands of worsted wool and came out with correct pre-fulling gauge.

I just finished sewing on the pockets. Now I just have to full (aka felt) it in a top-loading washer. I’ll need to take it to a friend’s house and my laundry mat has HE front-loaders.

I used this tutorial to make button loops that are easy for my little girl to fasten by herself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKN1lv6MPzg&feature=y...

She absolutely loves her coat. Everyone else seems to, as well; she gets complements on it all the time. :)
