Progress on the Melton Coat

I'm getting there!  I worked steadily on it all weekend, stealing little bits of time (and some two hour blocks, too!) here and there whenever I could.  I made fantastic progress, even though I decided to do lots of interfacing, a back stay, and shoulder reinforcement.   Just hems, shoulder pads,  and buttons left to go -- but those always seem to take the most time and are the least fun  :o(
