A cosy coat for my wardrobe

This is a great pattern and the instructions are very good. I have sewn a welt pocket before but found these instructions much easier to understand. The construction of the coat is very straightforward, especially if you’ve made a coat before. I made mine from a knit coating with one way stretch and it’s nice and thick and cosy. I made a straight size 44 based off my high bust measurement to ensure a good fit at the shoulders and making sure I had enough ease in the hips. It’s a really fun make and relatively quick to sew, allowing you to take your time to achieve a high quality finish. It is fully lined and has a very easy collar construction. Nothing too fiddly.
