The coat “Honor” is hand dyed silk charmuse and a commercial purchased pattern. I used Dupont steam fix dyes to dye the cloth. But before I can start dyeing I draw the design, these are spear heads, on the silk and then I use paint brushes to dye the silk. After I have finished, this will take few days, I steam fix the silk for four hours. Then the silk is washed and ironed. Thanks to threads magazine I learned to iron as I sew, so when I started sewing it to gether the silk charmuse was not as difficult as I had feard.

I wish I was adventurous enough to try hand dying ... your coat is gorgeous!
This garment is wonderful! The colors are a very nice contrast. It is a piece of art, without a doubt!
Thank you Kate W and WizardGirl1
