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, they were good.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like the directions on this pattern, and I think the end result came out very nice.
Fabric Used:
Flannel
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I shortened the waist line a little because I am petite. I added some belt loops. I sewed view B, but I didn't add cuffs.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I think it came out really nice.
Yes.
Conclusion:
This pattern made a very nice coat I do think the hood is large, but that's ok. I like the full skirt on it. I made the longer skirt, but it probably looks longer on me because I am short. There is some hand sewing in this that takes a little extra time, but I think in the end it's worth it. This coat doesn't have any zippers or buttons, so that makes it a little easier. I used flannel for the outside and the lining, so it's nice and warm.
I am very happy with it.

Such a lovely feminine coat. Love that it has the twirl swish factor.

What a stunning coat! You are so brave to tackle that large plaid, but it truly paid off! Looks like a perfect fit and that large hood sets it off nicely! Well done!

Really cute! I don't know why they make some patterns with those huge hoods but I've come across them too. Nevertheless, your coat looks very stylish on you!

Really cute on you! Love the full skirt. I'm short but am always afraid of full skirts. After seeing this on you, I'll have to try a full skirt.

It looks lovely. The skirt looks fuller on you than on the model; I like it.
