Upcycled Kantha Quilt Coat Duster M handmade Don't Throw It Out
I make these one of a kind coats from Kantha cloth. charming quilted cotton fabric from India....no 2 alike! I had a hard time deciding which side of the fabric to use, so I made this reversible. I use French seams (hidden), so no open seams. However, this takes longer to sew. Choose the raspberry side or the gentle celery green side. There is 1 pocket on each coat front. Size medium. ..measurements: shoulder-18, bust-48, bottom-57, shoulder to hem-40. My dress form is a sz 8. Versitile...wear with anything. Kantha fabric is primitive so there may be small dye flaws. Kantha means scraps in sanskrit. They hand sew crude patches to holes or rips. This all adds tribal charm! Since Kantha cloth comes from a tropical climate, there may be a musty small. Soak in cool water 2irh some vinegar, air dry.
