Chloe coat and online class

A review of Sew Over It Chloe Coat

Reviewed by nelnanandnora on 7th January, 2018

I enjoyed making this coat, although it took about nine months from purchasing the class and printing the pattern before I pieced the pages together (a full afternoon’s work!), cut out and stitched it all.

The sewing was faster than I expected, and I used both the (brief) written and (more extensive) video instructions to guide me through. Even as an experienced stitcher with some coat making experience, the video tutorials were useful.

The only significant change I made was to create inseam pockets in the long front darts, which has worked well.

The class focuses on using a zip closure, so do check the steps carefully if you’re choosing another option such as press fasteners. I also found the centre front hem slightly confusing (where it meets the front facing) but this was probably due to late night sewing rather than any failure in the instructions.

All in all I am happy with the outcome and feel more confident about approaching complex outerwear projects in the future.
