Pattern Favourites: Coat Patterns
Have you ventured into coat making yet? This time of year you probably use one every day, so what better way to leave the house then in a coat that is your favourite colour, has the perfect fit, and is made by you! It is a slightly more challenging project, but it’s oh so satisfying when you’re finished.
Because now is the time to start making your cosy coat, we thought we would round up some of our favourite coat patterns. From a simple poncho style coat to a more complicated trench coat and everything in between.
