I made this coat for a live action roleplay (LARP) game back in 2019 and I have finally gotten around to editing this video. I expected the two different styles of patchwork I used to construct this coat out of mostly scrap and waste fabric to take the most time but actually, the quilting was the real slog; without it this would have been pretty quick. There's even a tiny bit of leatherwork smushed in there at the end.
I think if you wanted to recreate Bilbo Baggins's patchwork dressing gown from the Hobbit movie, or Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas, these techniques would be ideal.
I hope you've enjoyed this video; I would love it if you could subscribe and share this with a friend.

I had an absolute shit day at work but your whispered 8 months made me absolutely lose it and laugh till my stomach hurt. Thank you.
me: adds patchwork coat to sewing bucket list
I adore the detail of the lining referencing the invading empire that's ludicrously cool. and now I can give my scrap fabric bag a purpose!!
Perseverance! Wins the game. Well done.
This coat is absolutely devine, I love the storyline too! It transported me to a parallel universe and made me dream! That's a sign of a costume well done!
What an amazing coat. I love how you used all the leftover fabrics to make something so beautiful and meaningful and, most of all, wearable.
What a fun and cheerful looking coat! I hope you get more wear out of it after all that work.
This reminds me that I've still got a patchwork dressing gown that I haven't worked on in a few months... I started it a couple of years ago and it's coming along, but there are over 6 thousand little triangles so it's taking a while.
What an epic project!!! As a quilter, I am so impressed that you pushed through the repetition!
“Happy goblin brain” really got me 😂
Oh my the inpiration this coat gives me! I just found a way to combine crazy patchwork to a garment! Thank you!
Beautifully done and such perseverance. I loved your footage of you tying the coat and repeating 8 months. It reminded me of the first (and only) time (so far) I hand-quilted a full-size blanket. I picked a extra long 32 hour audiobook to accompany me as I stitched. Spoilers: it was not extra long enough.
Also thanks for the twirl at the end of the video I was just wishing for it and then you did. delightful!
This coat is lovely, so bright and cheerful and I love the excellent twirly skirt 💖
You did such a fantastic job!
This totally took my brain to "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat!" It is AMAZING!
I love the shape of this, I definitely need to make something similar
This is great. I love the way you made full use of your base fabric - very clever cutting.
Juul Thijssen made a couple of videos about her patchwork liberation skirt last year. This coat has a similar vibe.
Absolutely Gorgeous! Mind blowing! Watching with my mouth wide open in amazement!😲
This is so beautiful! And I loved the 8 month bit 😊
LOVE this coat! What a great way to use scrap fabric.
Absolutely beautiful! Tho it's reminding me of all the projects that I need to persevere on and get back to D:
That is such a fun project ! I love how you reused all the scraps from previous projects. This is a wonderful fantasy character 😊😊
(I miss larp...)
Now I know what to do with my bag of scraps that are too small to make anything substantial out of, but are too big/useful to cut up for stuffing.
A chaos circle skirt is now on the future projects list. 😄
I like the word "chaos" here. I'd love to make a Chaos Robe.
I made myself some sewing machine covers just like this! And I've been making myself a lap quilt... it's only half done and I started it in 2018 (... i think, time is a social construct)
i like to imagine something similar to this in neutral tones for a sneaking type character, to break up their silhouette to some degree. like extra funky camo pattern.
I really really miss larping
This is absolutely beautiful , I love it!!!!
Super cute 😊
I hold you fully responsible for my eventual new dressing gown
Lovely work!
THIS IS INCREDIBLE
It looks super fab! So inspiring!
Would now be a bad time to suggest that if you ever decide to tie a quilt again you don’t cut the thread? Instead do all stitching in your area then cut and tie then move to the next area. It will still take time but maybe not as much.
Your coat is lovely and exactly perfect for your character!
Do you have any photos of the lining? I would be very interested to see them...is the coat reversible to show the dark side?
*whispers* 8....months...
