I made a coat out of an old blanket

The base pattern is all well chore coat on etsy. I saved the blanket out of the free pile at my local thrift shop and had the fleece lining. I added welt pockets and a big collar, as well as a little hook to hang it up. I've never done a lined jacket before or welt pockets, so that was fun to figure out. It was also tricky working with the two different fabrics because the lining is easy to stretch.

It's not perfect, but it's definitely warm and comfy!

Saved this blanket out of the free pile

I had the fleece lining fabric already, and it's cold here, so I thought I'd make a warm coat. It's mostly finished, I'm going to add another pocket to the inside, and I'm contemplating adding buttons. I plan to do some visible mending as well because it is seperating in quite a few spots.

I'm going to make a bunch of other things with the rest of the fabric to use all of it. I might make a matching fleece lined bucket hat next and a bag.

I got this money tree at the end of January and it's been putting out one leaf at a time per stem. I thought that's just how they grow. I have 3 on this one and 2 (so far) on the other!

I got her in Feb, and she's just been chillin', no new leaves, but no issues. I put her under a sansi 36w grow light about a month ago, and growth has exploded. I'm super excited to see how she looks when they're all open.
