Bella Loves Patterns Kaia Coat

Buy the Kaia Coat sewing pattern from Bella Loves Patterns. Kaia is a mid-season short coat, designed exclusively for double faced coating fabrics. The oversized silhouette is slightly tapered towards the hem. Kaia features a dropped shoulder line, bal collar with a collar stand, welt pockets, and a single breasted closure at the centre front. The bust darts are positioned at the neckline to create a visual feature. The sleeve has a gently curved outer seam that matches the shoulder line. There are two buttons and a wrist strap at the sleeve hem that can be used to adjust the width of the sleeve opening. The front hem is curved up higher than the back and sits above the hip-line.
