Closet Core Patterns - Phoebe Coat


Modern yet timeless, Phoebe is a double-breasted coat with a cocoon shape. Fully lined, it features a dramatic notched collar and lapel that can also be worn closed to stop drafts. The dropped shoulder, roomy two-piece sleeve, and oversized fit make this coat ideal for layering over bulky winter layers. Destined to keep you warm on the coldest of days, this pattern is a great introduction to sewing tailored garments.
