All I wanted was a strong coloured single breasted trench coat that needed the least amount of hand sewing possible. The lining is machine sewn to the coat and I hand sewed the buttons and some of the buttohole detailing - and that was it.
Here are the previous trenchcoat posts:

Looks great. But it sure is going to be too hot to wear that soon. Love the colour. It's so much nicer than boring old black and will look lovely and cheery next winter.
I love it! So sharp, and such a great color.
Beautiful coat, the colour and style are perfect :)
A great achievement! I am sure that you are glad it is finished. You have created a beautiful coat.
Looks great!! Such an awesome pattern :)
That is fabulous!!!
Red and purple—one of my fav. colour combos. It's beautiful.
Bravo!
The colours are amazing. You must be proud of yourself!
Whoa that's awesome! The fit is great and you're really rocking it with those boots.. I've only finished a muslin thus far (and it's not even really a muslin because I already cut out the fashion fabric version XD). Just need to get the buttons and buttonholes in..
Oh I also love purple and red... that is a fabulous looking coat! You must be so pleased! The fit is just perfect.
What a fabulous coat! You are such a talented lady and what great colour choices!
So awesome, this looks really good on you. A trench in a fun color is such a nice addition to a wardrobe.
Beautiful! It came out great and I love the strong color and the fact that it is single breasted!
It's fabulous! I love the colours, and it fits so well.
Amazing coat, love the colour and the lining.
Great job! A wonderful color for a trench.
What a great job and the colour looks fantastic on you. I particularly like the contrasting lining, v.stylish
This is a fantastic looking trench and looks beautiful on you - love the red lining.
A purple trench coat with red lining is my kind of coat! Your work is absolutely beautiful and so is the coat. It definitely has the WOW factor! I've been drifting back into my comfort zone but you've inspired me to snap out of it :) Thank you!
Perfect! Love the color and the wonderful shocking lining. Just fabulous, but then all of your creations are:)
What a stunner of a coat! What a stunner in that coat!
GORGEOUS trench coat velosewer!!! Simply gorgeous!!! Great job!!!
I think this is one of my favorite versions of this coat. The color is fantastic! I love the styling too. I've gotta ask...NAVY boots? I need a pair of those in my closet! Nice work!
Super big congratulations.
Everyhing looks fabulous especially the colour .
You must be very pleased. Victoria has had some cool weather recently so hopefully you have had a chance to enjoy.
I love your coat. You look fabulous in it. I hope, however, that you get very little wear from it until next autumn! It is a great colour.
it looks absolutly fabulous, especially the purple/red colour combination. Purple is such a happy colour and once Autumn arrives you'll be like this beacon of happiness :-)
Your coat looks fantastic, it's so nice to have a bright cheery coat for dull days.
Beautiful work! Thanks for all the tips on making this trench. Still working on my UFO version (double-breasted). I would love to try the single-breasted version next.
This is lovely. And I LOVE the colour you chose.
What a fabulous and fun option for a trench coat! The color, the style...it's perfect! Nicely done!
