Saori Coat

Today I had some time to so some sewing for myself. So I finished off this coat from a length of cloth I wove using the Saori weaving principles. I topped it off with one of my hand made buttons from a 'Ladies in the Shed' session.
 
I am so in love with weaving at the moment, and in particular the Saori style, were pretty much anything goes! The yarn is a mixture of yarns I had purchased some time ago from Dairing Yarns.

As for the garment, and while Saori works on fairly raw principles, such as exposing selvedge's, I still felt I needed to line the whole coat and interface the opening, I guess some old habits will be hard to break.
