Juliet Coat - PDF Sewing Pattern

Pattern sizing

Measuring

Bust

Circumference around your ribcage at the fullest part of your bust. This is usually nipple height.

Waist

This can be a little confusing because a lot of people don’t actually know where their natural waist is. It is not always the smallest part of your torso if you don’t happen to have an hourglass shape. Your waist is located halfway between the end of your ribs and the top of your hip bones.

Hips

The hip measurement is not literally taken from around your hip bones, rather, the hip measurement indicates the fullest part around your bottom.

Fabric
What you need
Finished measurements

Medium - heavy weight coating fabrics such as wool, tweed, cashmere, Melton, boiled wool. Lighter weight fabrics such linen or flannel make for a beautiful Spring coat. For the lining we recommend lightweight slippery fabrics such as cupro, silk habotai, viscose challis or acetate.

This coat is only suitable for wider fabrics so we’ve only shown lay plans for 150cm wide fabric.

Please bear in mind that these fabric allowances do not account for fabric with nap, or directional prints. For that you will likely need more fabric than what we have recommended. To avoid the soul crushing disappointment that comes with realising you don’t have enough fabric for your project, we’d advise you err on the safe side and get more than you need!

For our featured samples, we used a deadstock camel wool from New Craft House, and a burgundy vegan wool from Fabric Godmother.
