Winter coat refashion

It seems we bypassed summer and the cold weather has settled in to stay already, which I don't mind. I love snuggley winter woollies. 

This coat is made from beautiful felted wool but had no shape and was way too big for me. I'm working on turning this into a tutorial on how to re-size clothing to fit.

It was reversible with black on one side and grey on the other so I chose the grey side... black makes me look like i'm dying!  I added some darts , took in the side seams and arms, shortened the hem (which i'm slightly regretting - I love long coats) then used the excess cut off the length to make the wrap collar.

And Voila!  I have a new winter staple YAY :)
