        Great pattern

        Loved making a couple of these coats for twin sisters. Hacked the round hood to add fur trim and added a few inches to the length. Great and easy pattern to follow, having previously made a few adult Pea coats. X

        This coat pattern is absolutely fantastic. It is relatively simple when compared to other Twig and Tale coat patterns but with a fantastic finish. It's super versatile and I think it would be the perfect canvas for hacking. I made a fall coat and quilted the outer fabric before cutting it. I've been wearing it non-stop and have gotten loads of compliments.

        Pixie Updated

        I absolutely love my new Pixie Coat, 100% recommend this pattern. I have had so many compliments on it already and it is so cozy and warm to wear. The instructions are easy to follow and the fb chat group is great for help and inspiration.

        I enjoyed the learning process with excellent instructions.
        So satisfying to have the confidence to use 'dog blankets' with some tar marks from our local opp shop.
        Looking forward to trying the updated pattern lining now I know my sewing machine better xx

        Loved sewing this coat x 2!!

        I sewed two pixie peas for my 2 and 4 year old granddaughters. I made a size 3 and size 6 out of needlecord outer and lined with cotton, one with a pixie hood and one with a round hood, both with patch pockets. Really easy sew that went together super-quickly. I think the end result is really lovely and they look fab.
        My only regret is not thinking the coat fastenings through in advance. I made loops out of the lining material and intended having toggles. I then realised that the toggles I had would pull on the fine needlecord if I sewed them on the front rather than the placket (which wouldn't have sat right). I then switched to buttons but I made the loops too big for the buttons so they don't stay together reliably . I wish I'd done proper buttons on the placket or a hidden zip ... maybe next time.
        Lovely pattern ... just bought the women's updated version so I will have to make one for me next time! Thanks to T&T for another lovely pattern.

        Everyone needs at least one of these coats!

        This pattern guides you gently through the process of coat making. Clear instructions, well explained processes and a well designed garment that fits true to size.
        Enjoyed bringing my own personality to the coat with my fabric choices

        I will be using this pattern for years!

        I loved this pattern and sewing winter coats for my girls. I used a prequilted cotton for the outside and flannel for the inside. They turned out perfect, adorable and warm! According to their measurements, I made the appropriate sizes, and they fit great. I think they will fit into the next winter season, also. I plan on using this pattern for years to come, and I am totally sold on using more t+t patterns for our wardrobes. Thanks!

        Almost perfect

        The coat is quite nice, but the instructions could be clearer. For example, the button strip pieces go onto both the main fabric and the lining, but it’s not initially made clear. It would also be amazing to edit the instructions to note “if you are using the animal add on do this bit now”. The sample grey fabric choice is very hard to discern as well, a highly contrasting thread would be helpful. We made it with a wool flannel and a satin lining.
        We’ve just finished it and are happy enough with it, but it should have/could have been a much faster make if we didn’t need to seam rip so much due to the unclear directions.

        What an easy sew and a cute outcome!

        I'm a beginner seamstress and I love trying out new patterns. I did not mind paying for this pattern, it was worth every cent spent. It rhymes!
        You can see the outcome of this project too awesome to just write, words wont do justice... see my handiwork with the help of Twig+Tale
        Easy to read pattern and i cut it out wrong was confused but the online chat available was there even though we had a time difference. Followed up by an email to ensure my query was answered. 10 out of 10! Faziela
