Funnel Collar Dropped Shoulder Coat

A hip-length women's coat with dropped shoulders, a funnel neck, an edge-to-edge front with no buttons, and fronts divided by a curved seam that holds an in-seam pocket. Fully lined.

When To Wear

In autumn and early spring over a sweater, shirt or dress.
With trousers or jeans; the short length works with wide-leg cuts.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Boxy and straight, with dropped shoulders.

Length: To the hip.

Collar: Funnel neck cut in one with the fronts and back, faced with the front facings and a back neckline facing.

Front: Each front is cut in an upper and a lower part. The edges meet at centre front with no fastening; hooks can be added to keep the front closed.

Pockets: In-seam pockets in the curved seam between the upper and lower fronts, with pocket linings attached to both parts and a cut-on, interfaced pocket allowance.

Sleeves: Long, one-piece sleeves set into the dropped armhole; side and sleeve seams are sewn in one pass.

Back: One piece cut on the fold.

Lining: Full lining for body and sleeves, cut without the back neckline facing and bagged to the hem and sleeve hems; the turning opening is left in the left sleeve seam.

Finishing: Front edges, neckline and the lower edge of the facings are stitched together with the facings; 3 cm hem allowance on body and sleeves.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. In-seam pockets set in a shaped panel seam, a facing that runs around the front edges and funnel neck, and a bagged full lining.

Fabric Recommendations

Coat fabrics from synthetic or natural fibres.

Additional Supplies

Lining fabric
Fusible interfacing (front facings, back neckline facing, pocket allowance)
Hooks for the front edges (optional)

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: All seams 1 cm. Hem allowance for the garment and sleeve – 3 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Upper front – 2 pieces
- Lower front – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Front facing – 2 pieces
- Back neckline facing – 1 piece
From lining fabric:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Front – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
From fusible interfacing:
- Front facing – 2 pieces
- Back neckline facing – 1 piece

Lining back pieces are cut subtracting the back neckline facing.

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Fuse interfacing to the corresponding pieces. Fuse the one-piece pocket allowance.
Stitch the pocket lining to the upper and lower front parts. Press allowances downwards and overlock. Fold the front pieces right sides together and stitch from the edge to the pocket opening mark and from the pocket opening mark to the side seam. Stitch the pocket bags.
Stitch shoulder seams. Press allowances open.
Stitch sleeves to armholes. Press allowances open. Stitch side seams simultaneously with sleeve seams. Press allowances towards the back.
Stitch and press open shoulder seams of the back neckline facing and front facings. Overlock the outer edge. Fold the front facings with the main garment right sides together and stitch the front edge, neckline, and bottom edge. Trim allowances at corners, turn front facings with facing to the wrong side, straighten, and press.
Stitch lining pieces similarly to the main garment pieces, leaving an opening in the left sleeve seam. Stitch lining to the facing and front facing. Turn the garment right side out, straighten seams. Secure the facing to the shoulder seams.
Mark and press the garment hem. Stitch the garment hem and sleeve hem with lining. Stitch the technical opening closed. To prevent the front edges from separating when walking, hooks can be inserted into the front edges (before step 5).
