Sewing Instructions
1. With right sides together, stitch the shoulder seams of the right and left coat front to the coat back. Repeat with the lining.

2. With right sides together, pin the collar pieces along the short ends and the outside curved edge.

3. Stitch.

4. Clip the corners and curves. Trim seam. Turn right side out. Knits often roll in on themselves when they are turned right side out. To prevent this, smooth out the seam and then pin it to keep it from rolling inward. This will help with the next step.

5. Top stitch along the outside edge and ends of the collar.

6. Find the middle of the collar and the middle of the back coat lining. Pin the two spots together.

7. Continue to pin the rest of the collar to the bodice. Make sure that you have a 1 space between the end of the collar and the edge of the coat front.

8. Stitch along the edge of the collar. This stitching will hold the collar in place while the rest of the coat is being constructed.

9. With right sides together, pin the coat to the coat lining. The seam will go up the front and around the collar.

10. Stitch. 11. Clip corners and curves. Trim seam. Turn right side out.

The Sleeves
1. Fold the bottom edge of the sleeve over and over again. Pin. Stitch along the edge.

2. With right sides together, pin the sleeve to the bodice.

3. Stitch. Take your time! Sleeves can be challenging to do!

4. Serge or zig-zag stitch the arm hole.

5. With right sides together, pin the sleeve and side seams into place. 6. Stitch. Backstitch at the ends to secure.

The Bottom of the Coat


1. Fold the bottom of the coat over and over again. Pin.

2. Stitch along the edge.

3. Fold the ends of the coat bottom over and over again. Pin.

4. Stitch along the edge.

5. Look at the coat bottom pattern piece and locate the gathering dots. Mark these dots on the fabric. Stitch a gathering stitch in between these marks.

6. With right sides together, pin the coat bottom to the coat top. Gather between the gathering thread to make the coat bottom the correct length.

7. Stitch. 8. Serge or zig-zag stitch the seam to finish it.

8. Top stitch on the bodice above the upper edge of the coat bottom. This will make the seam lay flat. The inside view of the coat. The coat bottom upper edge is lying up! Do not stitch it folded down! This will cause the coat to not lie neatly!

Finishing Touches
1. Top stitch along the front edge and along the collar of the coat. The red line in the photo below illustrates where this topstitching goes.

2. Locate the button and the button hole placement marks on the pattern pieces. Using a pencil, lightly mark the placement marks onto the coat. I suggest using a white washout cloth pencil for this. Using these marks as guides 3. Sew the button holes. 4. Sew the buttons on. Test the buttons and button holes as you go to make sure that each one is correctly placed.

Youre finished!
