I had a dream about two weeks ago about a coat. It is when ended up inspiring me to create an appliqued mythic coat for my final project! I had a dream about a patchwork leather coat. It's shape is remeniscent of a leaf, and the hood is pointy, as if it belongs to an elf. it corsets down the back with tea stained lace, and the hood and pockets are trimmed with purple rabbit fur. all along the hem, there are two or three layers of gathered lace. The lining is really special. A few years ago, my brother was working in China, and brought be back a dozen yards of beautiful silk brocade that he purcased at a fabric market. I've been waiting for exactly the right project before I cut into this beautiful fabric. This silk will line the inside of my literal deram coat.
I awoke in the middle of the night and had to sketch this coat. It was the first time in about nine months that I've been truly inspired to sew somthing beautiful. But, seeing as I have never made a coat with this particular pattern that I envision, I need to make one out of cheaper materials first as a pratice run. This practice coat will be the one that I make for this class. My mythic dream coat.
