Elsa & Elliot coat

See the fabrics & supplies chart among the pictures.

YOU WILL NEED:
- Exterior fabric: Wool fabric is easy to sew and keeps warmth. Fleece is also warm although not made from natural fibers like wool. Other alternatives for the shell are softshell, rainwear fabric, tweed and bouclé.

- Lining: If you choose a lightweight, shiny fabric like satin it will be easy to put the coat on and off. It’s common to use such fabrics for lining, especially for the sleeves. You can also choose jersey linings, polyester or cotton poplin. For a more sporty coat you can line with mesh fabric. Warmer linings such as fleece, teddy or quilted fabrics are also great - but then you should use a lighter fabric for the shell. If you’re unsure about what fabric to use for the lining, many fabric stores have a specific category for linings that you can check out.

- Fusible interfacing: No stretch, to stabilise the buttonholes. If you’re sewing the collar or the patch pockets with a flap you will also need interfacing to stabilise them.

- Buttons. Approximately 4-8 buttons. Size 20-30 mm (3/4” - 1 1/4”).

- Snap buttons. Approximately 5 pairs, and tools to attach them. Only needed for removable hood.

- Useful tools: Fabric scissors or rotary cutter and cutting mat, pins or clips, textile glue. Sewing machine with a needle appropriate for your fabric.

See the size chart among the pictures.

Choose size based on the child’s measurements. The coat is designed to be sewn with one of the fabrics (shell or lining) being a heavier fabric, and the other a lighter fabric. If you’re sewing the coat in fabrics with stretch you can size down 1 size on width.

The measurements for the finished coat (width and length) are the same for both variants.
