Unique zero waste coat pattern - sustainable and stylish Discover the perfect zero waste coat pattern for eco-conscious fashion designers. Our high-quality pattern allows you to create your own stylish coat with minimal waste. With detailed instructions and precise measurements, you get a result that not only meets your ecological requirements, but also reflects your personal style. Let your creativity run wild and help make the fashion more sustainable. The oversized coat looks like a sofa blanket casually thrown over and offers a lot of living space, both inside and outside in the large patch pockets.The loden is not serged, the edges, the back neck hole and the pocket edges are trimmed with bright pink bias tape as an eye-catcher. The hem edges and sleeve hems end with so-called "rough edges“: unserged and unhemmed. If you use a fabric that frays a lot, be sure to serge it. Woolen loden is extremely strong, and the collar and facing are made without interlining. For softer wool fabrics, be sure to use adhesive interfacing for the pattern pieces. 💡 The coat is from the German-language book "Zero Waste beim Nähen" by author Stefanie Kroth Zero waste in sewing: We should make the best possible use of fabric as a valuable resource and ideally manage without waste. This works with a slightly different cut, clever design ideas and a sporty laying technique. What is special about the zero waste design process? The design process involves the fabric much more and the design and pattern are closely interlinked from the very beginning. I often make paper models, drape them on the mannequin or on the 3D avatar. 🪡 Sewing level • Advanced hobby tailors 📌 Digital PDF pattern with sewing instructions - to print out yourself or have printed out • onesize cut (XS - 2XL • Print yourself: 5 pages of sewing instructions and 42 pages of pattern in DIN A4/USLetter compatible. • Plot e.g. in a copy shop: 710x2431 mm ✂️ Material requirements Fabric - Fabric: woven fabric, e.g. loden • 140 x 242 cm // 55’’ x 2 5/8 yards • Bias tape 3,3 m // 6 5/8 yards • matching sewing thread Equipment • Sewing machine (with zigzag stitch) • Overlook (optional) • your sewing basket with measuring tape, pins, chalk, fabric scissors, sewing needle etc. 💌 Shipping information > as soon as your payment is confirmed you will receive your download link from etsy. >> Please also check your spam folder (Gmail: check the social networks and advertising tabs). 🔗 More patterns to combine https://www.etsy.com/de/shop/SOPatternsewhappy
