Disruption, the Coat, Finished

September 6, 2020

Do you remember this coat? I started it last May, which now seems like a very, very long time ago.

Anyway, I called it ‘Disruption’ because the grid of the plaid was covered with swirling and chaotic red lines.

Each line was a narrow bias tube of silk that I appliqued in place. The front, back, sides, sleeves and collar, it took a while.

An up close detail.

Something I love about this his coat pattern, it has a deep side pocket.

And the back.

So, there were lots of areas to cover which is why a coat started in May wasn’t finished until late August.

Although I am not loving our isolated, pandemic times, there is a bit of a silver lining; the opportunity for deep dives into time consuming projects.
