Tsubasa cosplay help?

Question

I am making the coat that Fai wears in the Tsubasa manga and anime and i want to know what would be the best material to make the coat as i am also making it for a winter coat as well. and how should i put the large pattern that is on the back of the coat what should i use for that?

Answer 1

I would use a wool fabric for the outer, white part of the coat; a silk/satin or plain ol' lining fabric for the lining.  The large pattern on the back would be best done using applique techniques.  Do an internet search, there's all sorts of info on how to do it (often on quilting sites, quilters applique a lot).
