Closet Core Patterns - Phoebe Coat

About the Phoebe Coat

The stunning Phoebe coat is a modern yet timeless design, with a double-breasted closure and 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.

View A is below-knee length with large patch pockets.

View B ends at mid-thigh with inseam pockets.
