Vintage child's cotton patchwork embroidered coat

Recommended Posts

For sale on behalf of Save the Children charity:


A kindly donated unique hand made vintage Childs cotton patchwork and embroidered coat, possibly from the '50s judging by the prints used. It is lined in a plain calico type cotton, and the length has been altered at some point. Each patch and seam is outlined in hand embroidery in different colours. There are three metal flower buttons at the front, hand made buttonholes and a pink frill around the neck.

The interior shows two slight patches of slight staining/bleed through from colour run from the exterior patches. There are also two side belt loops, but no belt. The lower hem edge has a couple of patches of very slight wear, but it is otherwise in a fair condition.


Measurements are:

Total back neck to hem: 75cm

Underarm circumference: 65CM


I estimate it would fit a 3-4 year old.


This is a truly unique piece and deserves to find an owner who will appreciate the unique character and creativity in this coat.


PRICE: £35.00, from SE3

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
