Lilac felted wool coat
Circus series
Wearable art coat adapted from Burda pattern 8293.
2005

Wool yardage was machine washed and machine dried several times to become felted wool. Felting allows for the raw edges of the curvy hems. Reflectors are scattered here and there for good walking-the-dog visibility. I wear this coat and the green coat all winter.
