Mallard Coat

A stand out coat for summer evenings or cold winter days - in either waist or full length for 2 very different looks.

This is a perfect "first coat" sew and we've rated it "easy intermediate". You can create the designer look without having to sew a button hole (let's face it - you can wreck a great coat if you don't have a good button hole function on your sewing machine).

>PATTERN FEATURES:

• 2 length options - waist or thigh lengths
• Large flap featured pocket (optional)
• 2 collar options (round or square)
• Collars can either stand up or fold down depending on preference

• Trans seasonal - a coat for winter warmth or summer evening
