You can make this coat longer or shorter by choosing a fabric with a wider or narrower width. Please note if you need a longer arm length than the below measurement you will need to add more to your fabric usage. Add double the amount you need, ie to add 5cm \/ 2 inches your sleeve length your fabric usage will be 150cm \/ 59 ½ inches. This is particularly important for the SHORT COAT as if your sleeve is too short the arm band will sit higher on the arm and feel too tight.

It is a method of pattern drafting where you utilise a length of fabric end to end by strategically planning your pattern pieces so that everything is used. This pattern does not require printing of large pattern pieces, instead you draw your pattern pieces directly onto your fabric with the aid of a cutting plan and templates. We love working with this method for 3 reasons:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. More flexibility: \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThis method allows for easy changes such as using different fabric widths and making simple fit and design changes yourself.
