This is The Abbey Coat by Jamie Christina. A wonderful pattern for a fun little coat. The fabric I selected is a sea green herringbone Pendleton Wool I purchased at the Sewing Expo in Puyallup a few years ago. When I first saw this pattern on-line, this piece of fabric immediately came to mind.
I did make one change to pattern. I didn't want the 3/4 length sleeves that are standard on the pattern, so I lengthened them to full length sleeves instead.
As for the lining, I had some cheap polyester lining already in my stash with some wonderful Japanese inspired cranes printed on it. I know, why would I pair a cheap polyester lining with a fabulous Pendleton Wool, but the colors were perfect and I hate to have a boring lining inside anything!
This was my first time using a Jamie Christina pattern and it won't be my last. The instructions were very well written with lots of pictures along the way. This is a fun little coat that I'm sure I will make again. I highly recommend this pattern.
Happy Sewing!
This really is a lovely, soft looking coat. You've done a lovely job.
