And if you vote for me, I'll be tickled pink! Here's a refresher of the shirt I made:
I have a three day weekend this weekend. I'm going to make Simplicity 2508 which is one of those Project Run(a)way patterns with a bazillion variations. I am basically making this coat. It has some really nifty bias details (sleeve tab, back tab, welt). Plus it has raglan sleeves and a collar without a collar stand, so it shouldn't be too difficult (famous last words).
On the left is the lining fabric. It's 100% cotton and has been in stash for at least 2 years. Maybe 3 years. It's not real lining fabric, but so what? On the right is the corduroy fabric. Bought it tonight at Jo-Ann's with a 50% off coupon. Woo!
My neighbor is grilling. In January. I can smell it in my house. I thought something was burning. Then I realized just what was burning. I *hate* that smell!
Good night!

Actually, I have already voted in that contest, but you'll be pleased to know it was for you! very cute entry.
I totally love that coat and have put it onto my list of must sew coats- because a gal can not have too many coats, I've found.
Your lining looks great - there's no reason why you can't use any fabric you like for lining - the things to consider are, how does it drape with the outer fabric? will it allow me to breathe? when I slide my arms through, will the fabric catch or slip my arms in? other considerations are warmth or coolness, and for me, the most important, wearability - because I hate replacing lining.
If passes all those criteria for you, then go for it!
I have that coat pattern and might like to make it! I will wait with bated breath to hear what you think, though. :)
Oh! And I'm going over to vote now. :)
