Clare Coat Pattern | Closet Core | PDF Pattern

Description

r

The Clare Coat is a chic cool-weather staple. Featuring raglan sleeves and an unstructured A-line silhouette, Clare is a great introduction to the joys of coat making.

r

View A hits at mid-thigh, with a face-framing collar, princess seams, an exposed asymmetrical zipper and welt pockets. View B has a more minimalist vibe;a dramatic funnel collar, double-breasted, ends at the hip with inseam pockets and full-length sleeves.
