1. It is two layers of our medium weight jersey, cut out, stenciled and then couched.
2. You will need roughly two yards of fabric cut into 1/2 inch stripes (cut along the grain), you should have enough left over to get enough 1 1/4 inch ribbing to go around the bottom of the coat as well as the sleeves.

Happy Stitching

2. how do i figure how much fabric is needed to make the couching material?
How much fabric and couching material did you use on your coat?
