I would love to make my own coat but I think it is a bit out of my skill range at the moment.sorbetsurprisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641390039457024522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9165544134006092810.post-50669378197469239162011-09-01T00:05:07.287-05:002011-09-01T00:05:07.287-05:00I understand about winter being too long...I'm...I understand about winter being too long...I'm your neighbor in Michigan, and the winters here are enough to make me wish I could truly hibernate like a bear does. That said, I adore all the coats you compiled. If it's great woolens and fabulous service you are looking for, I'd like to point you to Kaplan's Fabrics( http://www.kaplansfabrics.com/) of Kansas City, MO. I had the happy chance to come across it while visiting Kansas City this summer w/ my sisters. It's a great store and the service is impeccable. They offer to send swatches. They don't have an online store, but if you call them and let them know what you are looking for, I'm sure they can help you. They had the absolute best selection of wool I've ever seen in a fabric store!! I hope you find what it is you are looking for! I'm sure your first coat will be a smashing success!~Ruth P.S....if you are interested in seeing what I made from the fabric I bought at Kaplan's, just check out my blog...vintageruth.blogspot.com:)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145348743495858501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9165544134006092810.post-81015229604702665192011-08-30T18:49:58.143-05:002011-08-30T18:49:58.143-05:00I used to order fabrics from denverfabrics.com.
