Wrap Coat with Broad Shawl Collar and Elbow Sleeves

When To Wear

In mild spring and autumn weather over a dress, or over trousers and a fine knit top.
As a light belted coat for town and office.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight wrap shape, drawn in at the waist by the belt.

Length: Mid-thigh length; the wrapped front edges end in angled points below the hem line.

Collar: Broad shawl collar cut in one with the fronts, joined at the centre back and set into the back neckline.

Sleeves: Set-in sleeves ending around the elbow, with raw hems.

Closure: No buttons; the fronts wrap and are held by a tie belt.

Front: Darts on the fronts.

Pockets: Two patch pockets on the lower fronts with slanted openings; the top edge is turned 3.5 cm to the inside and topstitched.

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

Waist: Separate tie belt, topstitched 0.7 cm from the edge all round.

Finishing: No allowance on the hem, front edges, collar edge and sleeve hems: these edges stay raw, so the fabric must not fray.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Few pieces, no lining, facings or fastenings; set-in sleeves, darts, patch pockets and a shawl collar seam.

Fabric Recommendations

Soft, thin, non-fraying coating from natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

None besides fabric and thread.

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, front edge allowances, collar edge, and sleeve hem - 0 cm. Top pocket allowance – 3.5 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
- Front – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Pocket – 2 pieces
- Belt – 1 piece
