Bristol School of Sewing and Textiles

This gorgeous, stylish coat make a great addition to any wardrobe. They look great made in wool fabrics as they are unlined. Seams can be bound to give a professional finish. You'll have your own unique pattern so you can carry on creating.

You will learn: 

•  to cut & sew wool fabrics
• add pockets
• add a collar
• add binding (optional)
• top stitch

Suggested fabrics: This pattern is designed for woven fabrics but can be made out of a knit as well. It would look great made out of anything with a bit of drape like a rayon twill, gabardine, rayon challis, etc. It would also look great made out of something a little warmer with more body like a light wool or boucle!
