OK, not totally no progress--my hair canvas and weft interfacing arrived yesterday from B. Black and Sons, but I haven't touched my muslin in a week, thanks to the insanity that is full-time work, marching band season, and freelance work heating up. Plus, I'm really unhappy with my muslin (the cheap muslin from Walmart is really much too thin to do an accurate test for a wool coat), so I've been looking around the house, the church rummage sale, and the clearance rack at JoAnn's for a more suitable test fabric. Preferably one that's free or extremely cheap. No luck so far.
I have, however, been keeping up with Gertie's tutorials and am looking forward to making the coat, even if I don't finish until December. Heck, I have yet to finish a quilt I started in 1985--finishing a coat in 4 months is lightening-fast in comparison!
