Petunia Quilted Coat in Dorothy's Blues
Couldn't load pickup availability
Originally quilted by Dorothy Carveth in the 1970s, I repurposed this handmade quilt into a mid-length roomy Petunia coat with dropped shoulders. It has faux fur collar and cuffs, that you can adjust the length by rolling the fur in of itself, and it closes with 5 blue buttons.

Naturally dyed with plants
All my socks and scrunchies are naturally dyed - which is a 4 day process. Each natural fibre needs to be scoured on day one, and then treated with a mordant the next day. Then its plant dyeing time, which usualy takes a couple more days!
Each dye bath can be used a number of times, giving lighter and lighter shades until it is exhausted. Then the spent plants end up in my compost. Plant dyeing saves water and says a big no thank you to synthetic nasties that pollute waterways.
