“Victoriana" Black pixie felted cashmere/fleece Katwise-inspired sequin sweatercoat-2555

Felted patchwork Katwise inspired recycled sweatercoats - vastly different from others you might have seen. These are painstakingly machine-needle-felted for way better durability, warmth and better fit. The felting creates a completely different garment and also provides enough structure for machine embroidery and sparkling sequin work (most coats have this). Most contain buttery-soft, luxurious recycled cashmere. Some are 100% cashmere. Mixed with fleece for visual flare. These coats take about ~30+ hours to make.

This one is part of my newer "pixie bottom" coat designs - even the "skirt" section is felted for supreme durability. Also hidden inside the hood brim are 4 felted layers.. so instead of 2-ply cashmere, think 8-ply... which I felted the heck out of to super-compress them, so the hood brim has a lot more structure than my earlier works, but without adding too much bulk. The result is a hood that has a better "hang" and holds a shape better when worn up over the head. This one also has a ton of extra bells attached to the pixie points so it looks like a coat but doubles as a musical instrument. (If you want to sneak up on people silently you can always remove them but I frankly think they make for an awesome coat.)🎵

Before you get too excited, please check the measurements below. Here are the very rough measurements, and I take a lot of these to try to help. 

Psst... read up more about the fit and measurements of my coats HERE.

If a coat is just over the top, I've got some lower-hanging fruit for you - check out my arm warmer, leg-warmer or hat listings as I often make these from material left over from the coats. You can put together a pair of arm-warmers, leg-warmers and a hat for a little less than a coat, but still have a SUPER cute ensemble! I don't always have a complete set, but it's worth a look. 😊
