blanket coat,first attempt.

[fishfish]

well thats it finished! a 100% vintage wool blanket home made jacket,was nowhere near as difficult as i thought it would be,i saved the lable off the blanket to put on the front.
looks like i will be making 1 more in this size which incredibly is a medium,i have a salmon coloured blanket to make one for mrs fish, then i need to scale down for the kids,any tips on scaling down?

btw i wont be making these for sale,twodogs has that covered and he knows what he is doing!

It won't win any fashion prizes but it looks like an excellent camp garment. I like the neck/hood too.
