Now the part that changes people's minds about making a coat.
This coat has four seams. Two at the shoulders, two under the arms. That is the entire assembly. Everything that looks difficult about it — the sawtooth stars, the on-point layout, the quilting — happens flat on a table, before there is a garment at all.
You piece your panels. You quilt them. You draw the coat onto them. You cut, and you sew four seams.

🧥 The Coat
Shawl collar · dropped shoulders · turn-back cuffs · two patch pockets · four-button front
⏱️ Allow 20–28 Hours
That is a real figure, not a guess. Most of it is the piecing and the quilting, which you can do a block or a panel at a time over a couple of weeks.
📊 Who It's For
Confident beginners and experienced quilters alike.
If you can sew an accurate scant ¼" seam and quilt a straight line with a walking foot, you can make this coat. Those are the only two skills assumed. The pattern teaches the flying geese and the quilting in full — and the coat itself, as above, has four seams.
🧺 Made for Your Stash
This is the project for a fat quarter bundle, a scrappy stash, or a vintage floral collection you have been saving for something worth using it on.
The panel-by-panel colour maps mean you are never guessing where a fabric goes: you can plan the whole coat on paper before you cut a single piece, and you can see what a change of one colour will do before you commit to it.
💰 Making These to Sell
You may sell the coats you make from this pattern in small quantities — to people who ask, or at fairs and markets. Please do not resell, share or redistribute the pattern file itself.
📌 Important — Measurement-Based Pattern
This pattern does not contain full-size printable paper templates, and none are missing.
The coat pieces are drafted directly onto your finished quilted panels using the size chart, a long ruler and a chalk pencil. This is how quilt coats are traditionally made. It means there is nothing to print at scale and nothing to tape together, and it is what lets one pattern fit a wide range of bodies. Every drafting measurement you need is printed in the booklet.
📦 Please Note

- Colours may look different from one screen to another, and your fabric choices will change the coat completely.
