Description

Starting out with a basic thrifted jacket pattern (Simplicity) from the 70’s and three pairs of grey pants, I was inspired to do a medievel sort of theme. The greys are quilted to look like metal scale kinds of things; I also added the hood

Material Notes

Old pants,zippers

    Thanks so much! I began sewing as a quilter, so I tend to do a lot of piecing in clothes.

    I love it, creative and clever, with style. I’m not usually a fan of the reused/ redesigned, but I think I’ve just been converted :)
