Overcoat Pattern – Sizes XS–3XL

A quick-to-make classic for cold weather

Everyone needs a warm, reliable coat—and this roomy, low-calf-length overcoat is just that. Designed with simple, unlined construction, dolman-style sleeves, and a one-piece front placket, it’s a satisfying project that sews up quickly without sacrificing style.

The generous fit makes it ideal for layering over bulky winter clothing, and the collar can be worn flat or buttoned up into a cozy stand-up style. The front placket can close in either direction—choose oversized novelty buttons, minimal hardware, snaps, or even loops or frogs to customize your look. Deep, wide cuffs and large pockets offer space to play with contrast fabrics or fun embellishments.

Suggested Fabrics:
Mid- to heavyweight options like cotton twill, wool, heavy linen, silk noil, dupioni, denim, canvas, or sturdy knits. For added flair, use contrasting fabric—or faux fur—for the cuffs and collar.
