Velvet coat - it begins!

Hello, fellow Whovians!

Sorry for not updating the blog recently, I've been so busy with other projects that i haven't had time to write anything for the blog!

I wanted to give a little sneak peak of what I'll be working on for the next month -


It is, if you haven't guessed, the Doctor's Velvet coat!

As I myself am still inexperienced with sewing, and because of the price of the velvet, I've decided to take this project to the professionals!

My tailors I'm going to be working with are amazing at what they do, and were the ones I trusted to reline my navy coat with the Series 8 lining.

So to help them make the coat as accurate as possible, I've compiled a 4-page document with loads of high quality pictures of the coat that I snapped with my camera at the Doctor Who festival.

I will be using the exact velvet, lining, horn buttons, and the buttons from Cardiff, so this will hopefully be one of the most accurate coats outside of the TARDIS! :-)

For anyone thinking about it, I will eventually be making these coats available for sale, as I have a trade account at Holland and Sherry, and have regular access to the velvet, so if you want a coat out of all the exact fabrics and buttons - drop me an email, and I'll tell you more about time frames and pricing.

I will be starting the process at the start of next week, so I'll be updating with pictures once there's something worth doing photos of!

Until the next time :-)
