Yeah it's a winter coat...heh I started around mid-December and didn't work on it again till April. It's not really cold enough to wear it much anymore, but at least I'll be sure to have something to wear next winter : )

It was quite a challenge making a pattern for a fitted patchwork coat without ruining the design. And it was a really big pain to get all the pieces to stay symmetrical and line up in the front (which obviously didn't quite work...heh) There are somewhere around 200 diamond-shaped patches on this coat....

Materials used:
silk jacquard, silk/rayon blend something (don't know if there's a special term for it...), rayon velvet, a purple sweater and some purple-ish faux fur. Lined in pongé silk backed with thick vilene(?) for extra warmth (I don't know what that stuff's called in English...) I dyed eveything but the sweater and fur myself.

So, was I absolutely insane to do this? Yes. Will I ever be doing this again? Never never never...though I must say I'm quite pleased with the result : ) Oh yeah I know I should get some detail shots up the different fabrics really have very nice textures and colours...but I was lazy and maybe I'll get around to doing that in the next couple of days...

Just in case you're interested, here's a pic of how it looked when I just started out [link]

Worn with my boots

lol jeeze! This does look like it took a long time XD haha and the WIP picture... yeeaahh.. Well it did turn out great! You mentioned that the center front isn't aligned well, but it's unoticable unless you know about it. The fit on it is terrific and those hoods you make are terrific! I like the tail bit.

That is a particularly beautiful coat; it looks very warm and very intricate. Even if those pieces didn't line up exactly, I think it adds to the charm of the coat. Fantastic job.
