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!
This pattern was a pleasure to sew. I’ve made 2 for my grand children from wool blankets. Lined with leftover fat quarters which I joined in a higgilty piggilty patchwork . Hopefully the coats will fit for a couple of years as I left the arms Long and rolled up to grow into. I also put a zip in the boys jacket with buttons in the girls version. Very pleased with how they just effortlessly went together.
Instructions were very good and easy to follow
If you think you can't do outerwear then I can assure you that with this pattern you can!
The coat is a simple shape that comes together easily. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Lovely points made along the way to get a good clean finish to your garment.
So don't be daunted , you too can do it .
haven't sewn it yet
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.
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.
