I love this pattern! Your coat looks just like mine, which I made from magenta Polarfleece 200. I always wear the collar down too. I get so many complements on this coat-people say they really like the funky big collar:). Nobody believes me when I say I made it in an hour. The decorative sergerd edge is a good idea. I am thinking about making the same coat for spring in a jacket weight linen with the edges finshed with a serged decorative rayon thread.

I just traced out the XS this morning to make this for a dear neighbor in black doublefaced fleece. I am going to try to line just the sleeves, as I find that's the only drawback to fleece! I'll let you know how it works...

Beautiful jacket. So nice that you make these up for family and friends. :-)

Mini, I saw your review of both views. Great job! I have to admit I bought the pattern because I liked view A. Still want to make that one too. please post a pic when you get your linen version done. I used pearl crown rayon on my green jacket and it worked great. Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I have been enjoying everyone else's reviews for a while and decided I need to post some of mine. Johanna - go for it -- what a quick and easy project w/very striking results. Your neighbor will love you for it.

I'm back from a weekend ASG sewing retreat- 10 items sewn in 48 hours! The jacket for my neighbor came out great- I cut out the sleeves on the bias, just to the length of the notches, then hemmed them. I basted them to the top of the sleeve then treated it as one piece (i.e. interlining, not a separate lining) by sewing it in with the shoulder seam and the underarm seam. It makes a huge difference in putting it on!

Great looking coat, I can see why you don't want to take it off.

Mary, this is really funny -- I saw that same fabric at Hancocks and considered it for that very same pattern! I agree that that fabric is outrageously soft and alluring. I ended up not buying it because something on the care label worried me but now I cannot for the life of me remember what that was. I love the way your jacket came out and am now wishing I had made it up after all!

Mary this is a great looking jacket. I love the color and big collar - so in style right now.
