Merlin Coat | I AM Patterns

Designer: I AM Patterns
Format: Printed Paper Pattern
Size: European Sizing: 36 to 46
Difficulty: Intermediate

The I AM Patterns Merlin Coat is part of the I AM MAGIC capsule collection.

The Merlin coat is fully lined and has big smart lapels, tailored two-piece sleeves and welt pockets. The coat closes with one button at hip level, with an option to add another button a few inches above. There is enough ease to wear a warm sweater underneath.

All seam allowances are included in the pattern. The pattern is enclosed in an envelope. It contains the sewing pattern along with a step-by-step illustrated explanation guide. The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper.
