2020 - Covid-19 Blanket Coat

This was a project involving an old blanket from my childhood and a tapestry purse, which once belonged to my Mother and probably created by her.

I worked the old "tatty" look of the blanket into the coat. For me, that is part of its charm. The label, the torn satin ribbon are all aspects of the design features.

And the button was one I had carting around in my button tin for years. Yay, it has function!

As I observe the front section, I wonder if I have set the buttons a little low.....

I had been considering this project for ages and the lockdown gave me the opportunity.
