Customer Reviews
I had been wanting to make a quilt coat. A friend at my quilt guild had made a coat with this pattern. I loved hers! I made the coat and am thrilled with it. I’m 5’8” and weigh 135. Since I was using a quilt, and wanted it oversized, I made a 16. I lengthened the coat and sleeves 3”. I’ve made 2 and plan to make more. The pattern is very easy to follow. First pattern I bought online and had to print off. Very easy process.
Definitely recommend.
Made some modifications to my basic coat pattern and turned it into a vest for my youngest grand daughter. Delivering it to her in Melbourne on Sunday. Pattern was easy to use.
I love the simplicity of this pattern.
It is a wonderful gender-neutral pattern that lends itself easily to creating a one-of-a-kind coat. I am presently working on my third quilted coat. With all the options this pattern comes with its a must for any creative sewer or quilter.
I loved sewing this coat. I made it for myself with the round hood and wave pockets. All the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. It was only the second time I had lined something and the first was not a success. This time it all went very smoothly thanks to the excellent instructions and photos. Thank you for a wonderful pattern. I will definitely be sewing more Twig and Tale clothing in the future.
This classic coat was a joy to make up.
The instructions were clear but perhaps could incorporate a bit more detail when applying the button strips. All easily remedied.
What a great result!
I enjoyed making this coat for my niece's 7th birthday, the only trouble i had was choosing which size as i had read it runs big, i ended up making a size 5 with the length of size 6 and it was perfect! Plenty of room for her to grow but also doesnt look heaps oversized. I sized up to a size 7 hood upon seeing other's reviews and that even fit me. I had a few issues sewing the neckline and hood together but the facebook group offered me some great tips for how to do that better next time. I would recommend this pattern to others.
Made this little coat for my niece. The pattern was so easy to follow, with clear instructions and helpful pictures. I used boiled wool for the exterior and cotton for the lining. Will definitely revisit this pattern when the coat has been outgrown :)
This pattern was really easy to follow and didn’t take long at all to come together. We used an old blanket, and a satin dressing gown and it looks fantastic and we are very happy with it.
I love this pattern. Easy to follow instructions.
Such an easy to follow pattern - would recommend to anyone. Once all the cutting out was done, the sewing itself did not take long at all!
Will be making many more of these coats!
