Thompson Coat

The pattern is well drafted but the length of the view A is weird..

The pattern is well drafted and the instructions are easy, however, I think the CB lengths listed for view A are wrong. I ended up with a jacket that is shorter than expected after completing the sewing, so I measured the CB length on the digital files (projector and A0). They included the folded hem (with the seam allowance of the fold) even though they excluded the seam allowance from the neckline. The lengths on the view B is correct.

Great design, great coat!

I have made the short jacket version TWICE in 2 weeks time, that's how much I love this pattern. The cut is really comfortable, the pockets are deep (and yes, the welt pockets are a bit a tricky technically, but it is well explained). I'll be wearing my coats whenever possible. I used a cotton twill both times, came out really good. I finished the edges with bias tape, I would have liked a general idea of how much tape I would need to be included in the pattern but there wasn't (I used about 9m).

The best
