Puppet Costume Part 7: The Coat

The puppet’s coat is finally complete! The next step is the hooded short cape.

The completed coat. I made the buttons out of 3 mm pom-poms. Luckily many of them are actually 4 mm wide to precisely replicate the 7/8 “/ 22 mm velveteen cover buttons that I will be putting on the live action costume to replace the current ones that are plastic.

Here are some detail shots of the coat in progress:

The white dots are embroidered onto the black satin ribbon.

I reproduced the slit pockets. They are functional.

The coat is spread out here to show the completed trim. Notice the slit pockets there too.
