ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Starlight Blanket Coat is a unique zero-waste sewing pattern, designed to be made with a reclaimed blanket. It has a relaxed, oversize fit with 2 deep pockets, an open front and a tailored shawl collar. It’s unlined and designed to make the most of the warmth and individual features of the original blanket.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL
This pattern is suitable for beginners - it’s simplicity would make it a rewarding first coat project or a satisfying quick make for more advanced sewers!
SIZING
This is a unisex pattern with 2 size options - Small and Large. Please see sizing chart in product images for full details.
SEWING MACHINE REQUIREMENTS
This project can be sewn entirely on a domestic sewing machine. However due to the thickness of the blanket cloth you will need a machine able to handle heavyweight fabric. If you’re not sure if this applies to your machine - fold a corner at the edge of your blanket and run through a small section in a double layer to check!
