Wanting to make a custom coat/capelet combo
I want to make a custom costume for a convention and know very little about sewing garments from scratch. Is this coat too complicated? I'm thinking of the capelet as a 3 panel piece with a stretchier cotton blend for the cowl collar, but quilting cotton for the main body and coat. I could also sew a liner to add more structure. Any pattern ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
