Seamless Coat


My first attempt at making a coat all in one piece with a giant resist.  The first photo shows the resist taped to the wall behind the finished coat.  I made separate pockets, and sewed them on after fulling and drying, and the collar was made to the prefelt stage and sewed on the prefelted coat, then finished through the fulling stage as one.
 Here is the front of the coat with the right front over the left front (thin plastic keeps the sides from sticking together. You can see how it is almost too big for my table!

 The only thing I would do differently next time is make the sleeve longer.  I would like to have the option of cuffing the end.
