Not embroidery but sort of sewing/patchwork.

We've just sent DHDon's big recliner chair off to a new home in readiness for an electric lift chair to take its place. The removalist man was a big, burly, bearded bloke and, as he folded up DHDon's birthday quilt prior to taking the big recliner, he had this story to tell........

On the internet the other day he found a crafter who had made a huge long-coated hoodie from old sweaters. I think she might have found the sweaters in a second-hand shop. She had cut them up and patched the different pieces together and even the arms of the old sweaters had been cut through about four times and patched together in different orders. He showed me how the coat sleeves became huge 'wings' when the arms were held out. The removalist was so impressed with the workmanship in that large garment that he had to share his excitement and wonder at the value of such a project if worked out on hourly rates.

If anyone here has also found this internet site could you please share it with us. I'd love to see the coat, although from the description I was given I have a fairly good idea what it looks like.

No embroidery, as I have already stated, but if anyone did make a coat similar to this one, a little bit of embroidery would add a touch of class.

I hope you all have a lovely long weekend and, for the US members, do something special on Memorial Day.
