Project Pondering: Big Complicated Jacket

Without fail, the weather gets cold and I start thinking about outerwear I could sew. This is how I end up with three tailored coats, two jackets, and more fleeces than I can count. So I don’t really need another coat, but Waffle Patterns just released the “Kikyo 3-In-1 Jacket” and it would be SO much fun to sew:

Look at all the pockets! And all the zippers for the hood and the lining! Plus I could quilt the zip-out lining and use up some fleece for the batting!

AND, this would look like a Barbour jacket if I used waxed canvas, which I haven’t worked with before.

Oh it’s hard not to just buy the pattern and do it. But because it got cold, I switched out seasonal clothes and eeesh I have a lot of clothes. (“But not THIS piece of clothing,” my brain adds.)
