Closure: 6 snaps sewn to the right front facing and the left front, so no fastening shows on the outside.

Seam allowances: Hem allowance for the coat and sleeve bottom edge – 3 cm. All other seams 1 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).

Sewing Instructions

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

Interface the pieces with fusible interfacing.
Fold the welt in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitch the short sides. Turn the welt right side out and press. Overlock the raw edge. Place the pocket lining right side up on the front piece. Mark the pocket placement on the lining. Stitch the lining along the marked lines. End the stitching at the parallel pocket marking lines. Check the accuracy of the stitching from the wrong side (the stitches should be parallel). Cut the pocket opening. Turn the lining through the opening to the wrong side, straightening the edges. Place the welt on the right side and stitch 0.5 cm from the lining attachment line. Turn the welt up and topstitch the short sides. Place the pocket bag under the pocket and stitch a securing line around the pocket contour from the right side. Secure the pocket pieces along the side and upper edges.
Stitch the center back seams of the upper and lower back parts. Press the allowances open. Stitch the upper and lower back parts together. Press the allowances upwards.
Stitch the darts on the front pieces. Trim the bulk and press towards the center. Stitch the upper and lower front parts together. Press the allowances upwards.
Stitch a decorative topstitch along the waist seam at 0.5 cm.
Stitch and press open the shoulder seams of the coat.
Set the sleeves into the open armholes. Press the allowances open. Stitch the side seam simultaneously with the sleeve seam. Press the allowances open.
Sew snaps onto the right front facing. Stitch the lining pieces, leaving an opening in the left sleeve seam. Stitch the shoulder seams of the neckline facing and front facing. Press the allowances open. Stitch the lining to the neckline facing and front facing. Press the allowance towards the lining. Place the front facing and neckline facing onto the right side of the coat and stitch along the bottom, front edge, neckline, and sleeve bottoms. Turn the coat right side out through the technical opening. Close the opening.
Sew snaps onto the left front edge of the coat.
