- 2 collar options (round or square)
- Collars can either stand up or fold down depending on preference

New ZealandMallard Coat
Loved sewing this coat. Very easy instructions to follow. Everyone loves my coat and wants one. I’m onto my second one but making the short coat.
GuernseyMallard Coat pattern
This is a gorgeous coat. I’m about to make second one, very true to size . Instructions for finishing attaching the lining to cuffs could do with a video link, as first time doing a lined coat ( me) can be daunting and that would make it easier to finish rather than having to hunt a video link on the net. But certainly one of my all time favourite patterns.

Love the pattern, easy to follow
United Statesmallard coat pattern
Some of the pattern pieces fit together perfectly. Some do not match up at all. Not really happy with purchase
The Sewing Revival
Hi Phyllis, Thank you for your feedback. We havn't had this feedback before and have sewn the coat ourselves many times. Did you check your rouge pattern pieces against the paper pattern piece to ensure you cut them out correctly (ie, that they didn't move in the cutting process)? We take this kind of feedback seriously, so once you've remeasured against the pattern piece(s), could you please message us and be a little more specific so we can review it. Kind regards, Janine.

The instructions were clear but a bit scant on detail. Definitely not for beginners. The garment came together with very little size tweaking. Fabric used was a stretch twill with a rayon lining. All in all I was well pleased with the end result and intend to make short jacket version in stretch denim.
New ZealandPink Mallard Jacket
Hi Janine, I really like the Mallard pattern, especially the collar. My issue was I chose the wrong fabric to make it. Pink wool! I don't tend to wear pink. It was also a really bulky wool mix. I've had so much positive feedback on the jacket, both on Instagram and in person that I think I will grow to love pink. It's a very, very cosy and cuddly Jacket. I made a change with the pockets, as since I've learnt welt pocket making I want to use them on everything I sew.

I love buying patterns this way you learn so much about the product you are using the types of materials that are best and putting your own look on them
New ZealandMallard Coat
This is the second time I’ve made up the Mallard coat. Last time I used a cotton sateen which came up beautifully. This time I tried a wool blanket purchased from an Op Shop. Using the shorter version. Once again the instructions were clear and precise. I even got to use the original blanket label on an inside pocket. Thank you again Sewing Revival for another easy to follow patterns.
New ZealandMallard Coat
This pattern was easy to follow. I decided to make use of an old blanket. I'm thrilled at how well it turned out. On advice from Janine I went up a size and tacked the seams prior to sewing. I added the cross on the back to cover up hole.
New ZealandGreat coat but needed a tweak
Love the pattern and found it true to size. Good, clear instructions but shoulders weren't a great fit (droopy). Somewhat remedied by addition of shoulder pads.
The Sewing Revival
Hi Anna, Thank you so much for taking the time to review the Mallard Coat pattern. We make shoulder pads optional for this coat as people's body frames are different and it also allows makers to style the coat depending on personal preference. You may have noted we provide instructions on how to insert shoulder pads on page 15 of the instructions. May you enjoy lots of wear and great compliments on your new coat.

Beautiful pattern and terrific service. Months after purchasing the pattern I decided to make it and couldn't find it on my computer. I received immediate and courteous help - thanks so much
New ZealandMallard Coat
I've made the jacket version twice, this was the first time making the coat. Love how it turned out, especially my pockets. Size 10, no alterations, made with a mid weight cotton curtain fabric. Good clear instructions and diagrams. So pleased with the finished result.
New ZealandMallard Coat
I always thought that sewing a winter wool coat would be out of reach at my sewing ability, but this pattern made that goal achievable & looks great. Would definitely recommend for other novice sewers like myself.
United KingdomLooking Good !
I this this coat project yet, but the pattern and instructions look excellent
AustraliaI love a proper shoulder line
I purchased this pattern as I was seeking a 'set in' sleeve jacket pattern. This one has what I needed. I'm yet to make the jacket but it will get done
New ZealandAmazing coat!
So easy to follow the instructions, the coat fits perfectly (very true to size) and I loved the whole experience making it. So happy and will buy more patterns.

New ZealandFabulous Coat Pattern
Lovely sew, super easy instructions. I never imagined I'd be able to make a coat but this pattern is a brilliant introduction. I'll be making many more Mallard coats.
