"This was a gift for a close friend of mine who is a serial collector of Santas. Her Santa collection is, in a word, epic. So this coat was specifically designed for her.
To start, I selected all manner of Santa fabrics - Santas from different countries, different eras and designs. It took me about a year to assemble these fabrics - my friend can be quite particular about her Santas and I needed to make sure they met her standards!
Once I had the fabrics, I laid them out on a classic Duster coat patter, and like the Christmas jacket, I filled in the space with other Christmas-themed fabrics."
