Sewing Instructions

Attach the off-set welt to the pocket with a lapped seam. Stitch along the upper edge of the welt to secure it. Place the pocket on the side front at the marks and topstitch it in place.
Stitch the princess seams of the front (center front to side front) with lapped seams.
Stitch the princess seams of the back (center back to side back) with lapped seams.
Stitch the center back seam with a lapped seam.
Stitch the shoulder seams of the coat.
Set the sleeves into the open armholes with lapped seams.
Stitch the side seams of the coat and the sleeve seams in one continuous seam.
Stitch the cuff into a ring. Stitch along the upper edge of the cuff to secure it. Place the cuff on the sleeve, fur sides together, and attach it with a closed seam (trim the seam allowance of the cuff and stitch the seam allowance of the sleeve over it). Turn the cuff to the right side.
Attach the collar to the stand collar with a lapped seam. Set the stand collar into the neckline with a lapped seam (on the right front, end the stitching at the mark).
Stitch along the front edges, the collar and the hemline to secure the edges.
Work buttonholes on the right front and the stand collar; sew the buttons on the left side. Sew buttons on the right front symmetrically to the buttonholes. Note that the buttons on the fronts are sewn on with backing buttons.
