I have been designing in my mind a kelly green coat i would weave and design and sew for 5 or 6 years. I accomplished it this year!
and here is the weaving …
fabric strips in weft
off the loom fringes twisted soaked pressed and laid out to cut my coat
i always make a muslin before i cut into my fabric
after cutting out barely any cloth left for the lapels or pockets !
the lapels were cut like leaves scraps sewn to no raveling on each one then individually sewn in place
this coat makes me so happy !
