alsmost finished - and holding

things tend to slow down at the finishing stage - almost like I'd rather have this potentially perfect project sitting there than whatever the final product really is.  As long as it's not done, I can imagine that it will be the most wonderful thing ever made.
Here's a coat that's been waiting at 'almost finished' for some time now.  It needs buttonholes, buttons, the lining attached, and the hems done - that's it.

 The buttonholes would have been easier if I'd put them in before sewing up the seams. Or if I had a bigger sewing table.
