A friend recently made a coat of many colors for her young daughter after reading the book together.

Dolly Parton’s beloved “Coat of Many Colors” was inspired by a coat her mother made from scraps of fabric. It’s a story sewists and quilters understand well. Every scrap can hold a memory, every stitch can tell a story, and something made by hand can become priceless to the person who receives it.
