Cosy and stylish, the Cocoon Coat features a shaped collar stand, drop shoulder sleeve and a full lining. There are no fastenings, the coat wraps closed at the front and the pattern includes optional welt pockets. The gently oversized look and comfy fit make it a great canvas for a beautiful print fabric or a bright statement colour.
Intermediate. Sizes UK 8-20.
Designed to stay swingy yet fitted, the 1960’s Coat exudes elegance and vintage style. Fully lined, you can choose between a cropped or a long version with pockets. Use fabric-covered buttons for an elegant finish.
Intermediate. Sizes UK 6-30.
Jessie sits somewhere in between a coat and a cardigan. Make her in a cosy knit, a boucle wool, melton or boiled wool. The Jessie Coatigan is unlined with no closures, which makes her quick and easy to sew. She features a shawl collar, drop shoulder sleeves and nice deep pockets.
Confident Beginner. Sizes UK 6-30.
Dahlia Coat
Dahlia is a belted coat hitting just below the hip. With easy-fit dropped shoulder sleeves, optional single welt pockets and a curved front band to hug the neck and keep you cosy. The belt, held in place with belt loops, keeps the draughts out, and concealed poppers keep the coat closed. Dahlia is fully lined and the sleeves can be kept long or turned up to reveal a flash of lining.
Intermediate. Sizes UK 8-20.
Chloe Coat
Chloe is a timeless coat with a rounded neck, optional detachable scarf and lined patch pockets. She fastens either with an open-ended zip, or concealed poppers. Tailored at the shoulders and fully lined, the Chloe Coat is fitted to your shoulders, and shaped at the front with a long cut-away dart.
Intermediate. Sizes UK 8-20.
