Sandesh, UKTook my new coat for a walk in the sun today!!
The gorgeous wool came from my lovely friend @amystitches and due to its weight I thought a pattern with exposed seams was probably best. The #rawedgedcoat pattern from @themakersatelier fitted the bill.
Once cut out it all came together super quick (due to no lining)I also added 7” to the length. Very happy with the end result and loving the colour. @sandeshmakes
Diane, USAThe Raw Edge Coat from is super versatile and has great lines. The navy neoprene version is a straight size 12 with no alterations. I used snaps and should have added a twill tape to support them. For my next version, I'll go down to a 10.
I made the pumpkin version last year as a gift for a friend. Unfortunately, I didn't get a pic of her wearing it. She wanted a larger lapel so I did modify the pattern a bit. I widened the lapel and added a facing and undercollar. The facing was topstitched down to the outside. The facing gives the coat better support for the buttons and buttonholes.
Carla, UKI found this lovely ‘Coatigan’ pattern from The Makers Atelier (The Unlined Raw Edge Coat) and decided it would be the perfect transitional piece for right now. I chose a boiled wool in Camel, with matching thread and buttons from Minerva and set to work… This pattern is a joy, and like when working with scuba fabric (which incidentally you can also use for this make), the fact that the fabric is non-fraying means this pattern works up super-quickly. Added to that, the fact that there is no overlocking required due to the raw-edge finish of the garment and [cutting aside] this took me a grand total of 1.5hrs to sew and wear. The cutting took me longer than anticipated as I was very careful to ensure it was extremely neat. However, once I started sewing I realised the pattern allowed for a 1cm seam allowance which you then trimmed back to 2mm, so I needn’t have worried about that at all…. Always next time... The pattern itself is loose fitting and dropped shouldered and I potentially could have sized-down. The sleeves are also very long, but I genuinely love the relaxed fit and the ability to turn up the sleeves only adds to the relaxed vibe of the piece. I hope that the camel colour will keep it timeless too! The wool I used states ‘heavy weight’ on the Minerva website, but I personally found it more mid-weight, particularly as the coat is unlined. It cuts and works up easily and the thread and buttons match perfectly. So autumn - bring it on - I'M READY FOR YOU!!!

Manju, UKToday I am sharing a coat that I made using a pattern from a new-to-me pattern company: The Maker’s Atelier. The pattern I used was The Unlined Raw Edged Coat....Read more
This coat pattern is the easiest coat I have made and I've made quite a few structured and unstructured coats and jackets with variable success. The fabric needs to be boiled wool or other non-fray fabric. I made it in an afternoon, its that easy. I decided to make it a jacket rather than a coat. I measured where I wanted it to end on my body and then marked that on the pattern and folded the bottom over rather than cut, in case I want to make the longer coat version at a later date. The instructions are clear and very easy to follow. I would say I'm quite an experienced sewer but I think it would be a good coat for a beginner. I put in one buttonhole in a contrast colour, which matches the button. I think I will wear it a lot.
