The Modern Sewing Co., Darcy Coat PDF Pattern

From The Modern Sewing Co.: The Darcy Coat is an elegant and comfortable coat that is designed for throwing over any outfit. Whether you're wearing chunky winter layers or a simple summer outfit, the Darcy Coat will drape over the top and work with your body not against it. 

You can create winter or summer versions which can be lined or unlined (you will receive instructions for both options) and the pattern now comes with two lengths. You can choose between welt pockets or patch pockets depending on your skill level and our additional Gusset Pocket hack is included with the pattern. This is the probably the most complex make in our range but it is well worth the effort.

Construction techniques: Welt pockets or patch pockets | Collar, collar stand & facing | Option for a full lining | Inset sleeve with optional shoulder pad | Sleeve tab with adjustable width | Buttons or snaps | Hand finishing

Sizing: UK Sizes 4 - 28 (with PDF Layers)

The Darcy Coat is very oversized and roomy with plenty of room for thick layers to be worn underneath. Due to the amount of volume it’s best to size down if you’re in-between sizes.
