Great patternReviewed by B E (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/10/2023My daughter decided she wanted to dress up as a detective and a black trench coat was a must.. the pattern was great ( although I fudged a little with the bottom seams)… ended up with a very happy customerWas this helpful?Clear instructions and cute resultsReviewed by Michelle (✓ Verified Buyer) on 09/23/2022My son asked to be Inspector Gadget for Halloween, so this pattern was the main part of his costume. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, everything came together like a dream and he was the cutest Inspector ever. It went so well that I'm thinking about making a few trenchcoats for my kids to wear just for fun now. Couldn't recommend it more highly!Was this helpful?Carmen Sandiego’s trenchcoatReviewed by Linda McLaren on 10/29/2021My grandgirls LOVES the Carmen Sandiego series on Netflix, and asked me to make her costume for Hallowe’en. I bought 2 yards of felt, lengthened and widened the coat pattern, but otherwise made it to size. It went together perfectly and she’s delighted. Because of this success, I have bought two shirt patterns for myself. THANKS!Was this helpful?Grandson's love of dressing upReviewed by Brenda (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/06/2020I made a grey denim trenchcoat with white buttons for my grandson. This was his color choice. He loves Inspector Gadget. I did bind all the seams for a great finished look. It looks and fits my grandson great. Great pattern!Was this helpful?Amazingly Easy Pattern = Excellent ResultsReviewed by Tricia Hill on 04/13/2019This pattern is very easy to follow and produced the most adorable little trench coat for my granddaughter. I used a white with yellow polka dots bull denim and I love how it turned out. I added top stitching to all of my seams for a special touch. I also made her a little fanny pack to hold some of her gear.Was this helpful?Easy to follow and customise - even for a novice!Reviewed by Jaime (✓ Verified Buyer) on 10/08/2018This project was my first attempt at sewing since high school...and the pattern and instructions were superb. Don't be put off by the confusing instructions common to store-bought pattern kits: this was a breeze to follow. I used tan coated cotton to sew my 5-year-old a Tintin trench coat for his school book week parade. He got plenty of positive comments, and questions about where we found the coat! The only aspect I struggled with was the front facing: mine turned out a little bulky for my liking, but it isn't visible when worn, and doesn't affect the comfort of the wearer. I really enjoyed both the process and the product, which have given me the confidence to try making more garments. I would highly recommend going to a print shop to print the pattern at the large size: the A4 version is little fiddly to piece together.Was this helpful?Great pattern and easy to customizeReviewed by Sarah (✓ Verified Buyer) on 11/05/2016I recently made this coat for my almost 3 year old and love it. I wanted to match his dad's military issue trench and was able to easily alter the pattern to Beyer match the coat (i.e. lengthen to just pay the knees, move the pockets to size seam). I definitely recommend it and plan on making the toddler girls version for my niece this Christmas.Was this helpful?Girlie Version SlickerReviewed by Linda Adam (✓ Verified Buyer) on 07/12/2016What a terrific pattern! I recently made a slicker for my 10 yr old granddaughter with laminated cotton fabric. Sewing it up was great fun as it went together so perfectly. The slightly gathered skirt had me a bit concerned but the fabric gathered nicely & was easily sewn to the garment top (I pinned generously in the seam allowance). Buttonholes were a bit of an issue with the laminate, especially the top inner one. When making the pattern for a girl I would suggest to sew the flap onto the left side so the buttonhole foot has room to lie flat. Thankfully the collar hid my not so perfect buttonhole. I certainly will make use of this pattern in the future.Was this helpful?This pattern is perfectionReviewed by Mathew Boudreaux on 04/10/2016This pattern was perfect: easy to read, easy to use, easy to put back in the envelope. Even if you haven't made a coat before, don't be scared because this one will get you there with ease.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?lovely patternReviewed by Louise T (✓ Verified Buyer) on 11/19/2015I had such a fun time sewing up this cute coat for my 7 year old. She wanted to be a spy for Halloween and I was glad to remember that Oliver+S had a pattern! I've sewed up quite a few O+S patterns over the years and this one is just what I'd expect - easy to follow, smart construction and beautiful results.
I was very glad to have the size chart as when I measured my girl, it worked out to a 6. I made the smaller size (I would have normally just ploughed ahead and made a 7 or 8) and I was so glad I did, it fit perfectly.
I especially appreciate that with the digital pattern, you don't have to print all the pieces and then puzzle it together. What is needed is very clear :)
Now I really want to make another in a coated cotton for non-Halloween!!1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Great patternReviewed by Megan (✓ Verified Buyer) on 11/01/2015I dont usually sew apparel, but this pattern was very easy to follow. Made a great Inspector Gadget coat for my son!Was this helpful?AwesomeReviewed by Alisha (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/29/2015This pattern walks exactly what I was looking for and more. It was a great pattern, true to size, that all came together very quickly and easily. Thanks for an awesome pattern!!Was this helpful?Great PatternReviewed by Gail on 11/30/2014I sewed a Secret Agent Trench Coat as a Halloween costume for my 5 year old daughter. The coat looked beautiful when I was done - I was quite amazed that I was able to sew something that looked so professional. The pattern was so well written and easy to follow! I purchased the PDF version and had no trouble printing it and taping the pieces together.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Great patternReviewed by Nicole on 11/23/2014I'm not sure my 4-month old needs a trench coat, but now he has one! I made the smallest size for him for a Halloween costume - it sewed up quickly and easily, and it looks absolutely terrific. I could have gotten away with slightly less fabric for the 6-12 mo size, but appreciated having enough extra to make up for any potential mistakes. I'll be making this again for him when he's a little older as an actual jacket.Was this helpful? -
