Kid's Quilt Coat - Indigo Dyed 12 mo

This quilt coat was made using a vintage quilt sourced from East Tennessee, from around the 1950s. It has been overdyed using an organic indigo. It is in good condition for its age, but does include signs of wear appropriate to its age. Since it is dyed with a natural dye - it is normal to see imperfections. Dyed with plants, set with a vinegar wash & washed with natural detergent. The more the garment is washed and/or left in the sun - the more likely it is to fade over time.

The pattern created for this coat has been designed for children! With a small snap at the top to keep it on them if desired. 

This quilt has held up well over time. Always remember that this coat is made from an antique quilt that has seen decades of love. It has already been washed and hung to dry!
