Lilac felted wool coat
Circus series

2005. Adapted from Burda pattern 8293. Wool yardage was machine washed and machine dried several times to felt it as felting allows for the raw edges of the curvy hems. Reflctors are scattered here and there for good walking-the-dog visibility.

Buttonholes and pocket details created with techniques from Koos Van Den Akker's book Couture Collage.
