Pattern Description:
from the pattern website "A sewing pattern to make a semi-fitted, fully lined coat. The Abbey Coat features princess seams, 3/4 sleeves, and a peter pan collar. View A is made with the flounce and view B is made with out the flounce."
I did view A with longer sleeves
Pattern Sizing:
2-18 Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
yes Were the instructions easy to follow?
yes What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love the styling. HATE that it doesn't have pockets. A must add Fabric Used:
gorgeous blue wool and sunback satin for lining Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
pockets, longer sleeves, and tailoring techniques. Bound buttonholes, padstitched the collar etc Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
maybe the shorter version Conclusion:
I love my coat!
