Phoebe Coat - Sizes 0-20 - Closet Core Patterns

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.

• View A is below-knee length with large patch pockets.
• View B ends at mid-thigh with inseam pockets.

Phoebe is available in alpha sizing from XS-4X.
