RESERVED for SAGENAMY-UPCYCLED HOODIE ELF CARDIGAN COAT - RECYCLED SWEATERS - GYPSY BOHO SHABBY CHIC PIXIE COUTURE

Description

******this coat is RESERVED for AMY. If that is not you, kindly refrain from buying it. More coats coming soon, i promise!***************

This is a luscious and lovely patchwork coat made from a striking variety of vintage and upcycled sweaters. It has a lot of soothing green shadeswith a hint of grey and brown, all sewn together with purple thread to warm it up just a touch.. The looong hood is super fun, and of course it has thumb holes.

There are a lot of great texturesand colors happening in this jacket. The pointy hood and full swooshy bottom are quite playful, while the overall effect is warm and cuddley.

It is a size xl with a tie front bodice to make it even more adjustable. *one size fits most*

48" BUST (approx - can be more or less, depending how you tie it)
44" LONG

Enjoy!

I make lots of funky, reconstructed sweaters out of recycled materials. I am forever combing thrift stores to find the most interesting fabrics to use. Each sweater is a unique work of art, made while I rock out to weird music and sing off key. I like to think that a little crazy happiness gets woven into each creation.

I encourage you to have a look at my website - www.katwise.com. I have all sorts of clothes there - funky pants, lovely dresses, embroidered everything, plus lots of amazing tales, like the time I hitchhiked to Timbuktu.
All proceeds go to fund my haphazard world travels, and to ensure that my free spirit never has to sit behind a desk, unless it is to write an autobiography off all the craziness I have lived. - Inshallah!

***RAndOM THOUGhTS ABouT MY STUfF THAT YOU MaY CARE TO REad BEfoRE BUYING**

Due to the unending variation of the knits I use, a lot of the stuff has a little more, um, *personality* that stuff you would buy at a regular store By that I mean don't be shocked if not every seam is 100% perfectly symmetrical. I prefer character and whimsy, and I hope you do too.

A lot of my creations, in particular coats and dresses with full skirts, have a bit of extra flounce and bounce at the beginning, due to the combining of all different weight sweaters. I find that after a few wearing the knits tend to relax a bit and hang nicer.

Each item is rather unique in terms of its feel and stretch and size and so forth.

I try to use only the softest, yummiest natural knits to construct my whimsical creations. I dislike scratchy stuff, so that is rare - but if you are extra sensitive, feel free to convo me before purchasing if you are concerned about the itch factor of a particular item.

I try to make everything *one size fits most* but you are super tiny or extra large, you are welcome to contact me about how well this pair might fit you.

I put all sweaters in the washer and dryer before sewing with them to get most shrink out of the way. But to be safe you ought to hand wash cold and dry flat.

Please read my POLICIES page if you have any questions about shipping/care/refunds etc.... Thanks!

*phew* did you really read all that??
