Sewing Project: Boiled Wool Coat


It’s positively starting to feel like Autumn in London and a nice and easy autumn jacket is a great item for your wardrobe. A boiled wool like this one could do the job, no lining or overlocking required, stitch your side seams, facings and sleeves and you’re good to go!



I got the fabric from Dragonfly Fabrics, they have a beautiful range of colours for their boiled wool. They actually do swatches, I ordered a few before making my choice of this unusual colour, it's a cross between grey and plum. For the shape I went for an oversize easy to wear coat, I copied a pattern from a coat I already had. I belt it up with a matching belt, although a nice leather one would work too.
