it is an old coat, like way way back when , in virginia averys book, "wonderful wearables" she states that it is from denmark, around 1000bc, it is constructed out of one piece of fabric, (so worked for animal skins) , i really do not know how to explain it, but it is wonderful for fabrics, i have made them out of solid fabrics, but now i want to get "creative", they are cool coats, swingy and fun, almost an open palette for your imagination, i can talk, just not do, i will send you the ibn# or will try to write directions if i can, but you would have fun, it is basically a basic rectangle and it takes its shape when you cut and fold. now mind you, i have never gotten to creative with it, but i have made one out of felted wool, and it is really fun, and with felted wool, no finished edges, love that.
sorry to bother you
