Sizing this coat up may not be easy to do. You could always use the Grainline Cascade Duffle Coat pattern instead.

Andrea, have no fear. The Garment District is near Penn Station, and there are lots of people in the neighborhood with suitcases.

Happy shopping!

Oh why is this fabric so blue?
I was sure I bought some other hue
It’s hurting my eyes
They’re going cross-wise
And making me sneeze, “Ah-choo!”

New one:
When will the new patterns arrive?

As Liesl mentioned, there was indeed a minor grading issue on Piece 3. It was most pronounced (about 1/4″) on the smallest sizes.

We have updated the digital pattern to fix the issue and have issued an errata notice which is now available…[Read more]

My seam ripper fell to the floor
I just heard a knock at the door
I never get peace
For sew/stress release
And I definitely need it some more!

@lisachawk so sorry to hear about your difficulties with the pattern.

That definitely sounds like something is off. Are you working with a digital copy of this pattern? If so, be sure to check the scale measurements on the copy you printed to make sure that it has been printed true to scale. You also might want to check the finished measurements…[Read more]

I’m sorry to say, but that’s one of the styles that we released as a digital pattern only, and we don’t have plans to have it printed. So, for now, it will only be available as a download.

Woo hoo!
Hello lovely Peeps, we have joined the rest of the world and now have decent internet so I can finally access the forum again.
I have felt terrible wanting to help people but unable to reply.

I am not sewing, we are off on Hol’s, so I have tidied my sewing room in anticipation for my return (I will be hitting the Melbourne fabric…[Read more]

Maria,

You can find the errata page here:

I’m not sure if this will be the right width, but Amazon has it. If this is too wide, you could check there for other widths.

Liesl has corrected the problem with the pattern, and we’ve placed an errata notice on the website. It can be found here. Fortunately, it’s a simple issue to fix.

The digital version of the pattern has been updated with this fix.

So sorry about that! Someone else pointed out that error to us yesterday. We’ve updated the printing guide page for the pattern to include page 37 for all views and cup sizes.

If you would like an updated version of the PDF with this change in place, you can use your original download link to download a new copy now.

My seam ripper fell to the floor
I just heard a knock at the door
I never get peace

I’ve run out of room for my stash
So off to Ikea I dash
The place is a maze
I’ve been here for days
Eating so many meatballs I’ve run out of cash

My seam ripper fell to the floor

There are sequins all over the rug
Each one looks like a shiny blue bug
I could pick up each one
And it would be done
Once I stick them all to my mug

And to start a new limerick:
