SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
- Simplicity 8742 pattern
- 2 1/4" yardage on pattern envelope of 60" fabric, 2 3/4" for 45" fabric
- 1 1/8 yd. of white fleece
- Sewing supplies
- Kraft paper or tissue paper
- Pencil
DIRECTIONS:
- Trace facing pattern (View B) on to Kraft paper. Add all the extra inches to outer front seam allowances. At Shoulder, add 1 1/2" to the seam allowance. Measure down 12" from shoulder line to obtain the fullest part of collar, draw a line from the front seam allowance out 4 1/2". Measure down 5" from the 12" marking and measure 2 1/2" to the outer seam allowance. The rest of facing will be the same as the pattern. More can be added to the outer edges if a wider collar is desired.
- Add Kraft paper to the outer edges of the coat and trace the new facing pattern to the outer edges of the coat.
- Cut out cuffs of white fleece and sew per pattern instruction.
- Belt: Cut 5 1/2" X 58" or 60" long. Fold the 5 1/2" in half, sew the length of belt with a 1/4" seam, leaving an opening for turning. Turn belt, top stich 1/4", closing the opening with the top stitching.
- Follow sewing instruction from pattern instructions to complete garment.
JOANN HACKS:
- Place pattern with the fleece nap going down.
- Match prints so that pockets, side seams and sleeves match flow of the print.

Lots of work, but turnedout well
Once I was able to buy the pattern, the hardest part was the alterations to the collar of the pattern. The directions given on this project pge were not the easiest to follow, but I eventually accomplished it.

if you can't supply pattern, DO NOT advertise a FREE pattern.

No pattern
When I tried to get the pattern it wasn't available.
You can't even find it on the app. Very frustrating.

No pattern
URL link to pattern does not work and I don't really appreciate the follow up email "Did you like what you see" simply because I clicked on the link in my email. It's a real turn off. I know corporate doesn't care, but the people do. I'm unsubscribing.

Download not working
Only the supply page is available. The details, with the download to the pattern is broken link. This looks like it might be a fantastic jacket.
Only would recommend if you can access a pattern.
