Snow Day

Spring is coming. I can hear a cardinal claiming his territory outside my window, and some of my houseplants are blooming, but for now, we have lots of snow. 

Gus is prepared for a walk in the winter weather, with his Burberry inspired duffle coat, herringbone flannel pants, and a warm plaid scarf. Sinatra wears a matching jacket and red collar.

Herringbone

I wanted to make a big, roomy overcoat for Gus, and I liked the look of the charcoal gray one below, from the Stella McCartney 2018 Fall/Winter collection. I found a beautiful gray cotton herringbone flannel, at the local quilting shop, and did my best to produce a warm overcoat in a similar style. I love the texture of the cotton flannel, and the depth that the weave adds to the piece.
