This is great fun, you can use 7 colors like I did or however many you would like, I based the jacket off of a authentic pigment dyed sweatshirt style 1941, it is now my lining. Cut out all of my pieces to showcase my colors of wool and wool felts. The jacket is trimmed out including the collar using a suit coat from my local thrift shop (Fabric can be substituted, the pattern pieces are included) as for the bag it is a combination of what was left from making the jacket. As you can see we are all about buttons this year all kinds to embellish so go crazy! Pattern is easy to make.

Materials Needed:

1 sweatshirt

3 ½ to 4 yards wool, wool felt or fabric of your choice

FYI (This coat was done in 7 colors of 100% virgin wool from National Nonwovens, call for information on this fabric)

½ yd of black wool for trees

Buttons: 20 buttons for sleeve cuffs and bag and 6 toggle buttons

Scraps of wool or wool felt for the cuffs

1 yd fabric (for trim)

Or one suit coat from the thrift shop
