Length: Mid-thigh.

Collar: Notched collar with lapels; upper collar interfaced, lapel roll line taped with a 1 cm fusible stay.

Pockets: Patch pockets with rounded lower corners, placed on the lower fronts.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, with no centre back seam.

Lining: Unlined.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. A notched collar set between the coat and the facings, a taped lapel roll line, and understitching that changes sides at the lapel break.

Fabric Recommendations

Thin suiting fabric of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (front facings, back neck facing, upper collar, sleeve hems, lapel stay)

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance for the bottom of the garment and sleeve hem – 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches – they must match!

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Front – 2 pieces
- Upper Collar – 1 piece
- Lower Collar – 1 piece
- Center Front Facing – 2 pieces
- Pocket – 2 pieces
- Back Neckline Facing – 1 piece
From fusible interfacing: Center Front Facing – 2 pieces, Back Neckline Facing – 1 piece, Upper Collar – 1 piece, strips for the sleeve hem allowances.

Sewing Instructions

Fuse interfacing to the Center Front Facings, the Back Neckline Facing, the Upper Collar and the sleeve hem allowances. Fuse a 1 cm wide stay tape (cut from fusible interfacing) along the lapel roll line on each Front. Stitch the darts on the Fronts. Press the dart depths towards the centre front.
Overlock the edges of each Pocket. Fold the top allowance to the inside and topstitch. Fold the remaining Pocket allowances to the inside and press. Place the Pockets on the Fronts along the markings and topstitch.
Stitch the shoulder seams and the side seams of the coat together with the sleeve seams (the sleeves are cut in one with the body). Overlock the seam allowances and press them towards the back.
Place the Upper Collar on the Lower Collar, right sides together, and stitch along the ends and the outer edge. Start and end the stitching exactly at the marked collar attachment line. Trim the seam allowances at the corners, clip at the mark. Turn the collar right side out, ease out the edges and press.
Stitch the shoulder seams of the Back Neckline Facing and the Center Front Facings and press them open. Overlock the free edge of the facings.
Place the Center Front Facing on the Front, right sides together, pin and stitch along the front edge, up to the notch that marks the end of the collar attachment. Trim the seam allowances at the corners. Understitch the front edge seam allowance 0.2 cm from the seam: onto the Center Front Facing along the buttoned part, onto the Front along the lapel. Turn the front edges right side out and ease out the seams.
Stitch the Lower Collar to the neckline of the coat, and the Upper Collar to the neckline edge of the Back Neckline Facing and Center Front Facings. Secure the two collar layers together through the neckline seam allowances.
Overlock the lower edge of the coat and the sleeve hems. Fold the allowance to the inside and slip-stitch by hand.
Make the buttonholes on the right Front and sew the buttons on the left Front.
