woollen jacket 1700s hand-sewn

MATERIALS
A second-hand coat cost £4. Brown 100 per cent wood aquasputum
striped material from a cushion cover
Lining peach cotton mix


The first attempt was so hard to cut out as I omitted to cut out a lining at the
same time as the top fabric. It was quite a struggle to cut it out of the material, despite the original coat being a size 16 not a 10 which I am and much longer than I needed. Part of this came from the flare of the bottom and the large front. The sleeves I could re-model from the originals.


The finished coat after adding the cord detail in dark-brown shoe-laces down the front. The lining of the collar and cuffs is a striped silky material
