Felted patchwork Katwise inspired recycled sweatercoats - vastly different from others you might have seen. These are painstakingly for way better durability, warmth and better fit. The felting creates a completely different garment and also provides enough structure for machine embroidery and sparkling sequin work (most coats have this). Most contain buttery-soft, luxurious recycled cashmere. Some are 100% cashmere. Mixed with fleece for visual flare. These coats take about ~30 hours to make.
This one is part of my newer "pixie bottom" coat designs - even the "skirt" section is felted for supreme durability. Also hidden inside the hood brim are 4 felted layers.. so instead of 2-ply cashmere, think 8-ply... which I felted the heck out of to super-compress them, so the hood brim has a lot more structure than my earlier works, but without adding too much bulk. The result is a hood that has a better "hang" and holds a shape better when worn up over the head. Most of my coats have bells at the tip of the hood and the belt ties so they are musical, and this coat has extra bells on the pockets too. 🎵

This, so far, is one of the best coats I've made yet and is more durable and more well made than my earlier non-felted works. It also took a lot more time, which is why the price is higher. This was about a week's worth of work, not factoring in the cost of materials (which alone are ~$100.00). The cashmere, especially in the brighter colors, is just expensive. It is SO worth it though. High quality materials enable high quality finished works.😍
If a coat is just over the top, I've got some lower-hanging fruit for you - check out my , or listings as I often make these from material left over from the coats. You can put together a pair of arm-warmers, leg-warmers and a hat for a little less than a coat, but still have a SUPER cute ensemble! I don't always have a complete set, but it's worth a look. 😊
