Simple blanket coat

This is the Lisette B6244 for Butterick. There are many examples on Instagram, both long sleeve ones and also summer time sleeveless layering pieces and even some furry ones!

I was after a non bulky but cosy layer for a long haul flight and this fitted the bill.

It is a semi-fitted, unlined coat (wrong side shows) has front extending into collar, flat-fell seams, narrow hem, and shaped front hemline longer than back. There is also a lined dress that comes as part of the pattern with shoulder yokes, fitted bodice with side-front and side-back seams, and invisible back zipper.

I choose the size in accordance with my bust. It is a perfect fit across the back, any smaller would have been too small here.

One huge tip

USE THE INSTRUCTIONS AND PATTERN MARKS!!!!

The attaching of the integral collar to the back piece screws with your mind until you read the instructions!!

Luckily there is a sew along tutorial on the Liesl and Co Blog for this coat which was really useful for the collar. It suddenly all became clear!!

I ended up basting to get a really good finish on the collar.

You do have to be neat for a good finish. All the seams are flat felled seams, even to the unfathomable one around the neck line. And yes, it is possible to finish the long arm seams with flat felled seams even with this wool. It’s fiddly and you have to approach the seam from both ends, but it is possible.

There's loads more detail on my blog post  https://lovelucie.org/2022/03/25/lisette-b6244/

Oh, and I added a belt and belt loops!

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow?

I found the collar insertion a bit hard to wrap my head around. But once it clicked, it was fine.

Wool coating with a nice brushed feeling to it.

Shortened by 10 cms

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

Yes, I would sew again, it's a nice and easy gift to make for Christmas.

Recommend, tough I haven't worn it enough yet to highlight any potential issues with shaping or annoying details. More images and details on my blog Sewrendipity
