My finished tweed coat (ft. me finishing it)!

Tailoring can be a cruel mistress, especially when you're an aimless amateur like me. Still, on the day (or days) on which I finally finishing sewing my tweed overcoat, I can surely expect a friendly and pleasant send-off, right? Ah, but I'm still several hundred practice buttonholes away from working proficiency, and I also have a bit of a grudge against my buttons... Tricky! Do I know how long to cut my thread? Will my shattered beeswax play along? Can I even begin to understand how to sew a buttonhole that *won't* burn the retinas of any onlooker? Shall I find it in my heart to forgive my dinky buttons for having been bought by me? Do they do anger management programs for wounded sewists? And is there a single wet and windy day left between now and October on which I can actually wear this blasted coat? Only time will tell...
