Duffle Coat
Little adventurers can brave the coldest of winter chills or frock up for
fun with friends with this easy to complete duffle coat.

suit both boys and girls, your intrepid explorer can
hunker down for winter with the warmth of a hood or
be the toast of high tea with a simple-to-sew collar.

There’s also the option of sweetly trimmed pockets just to provide additional stash points for the
treasure trove of childhood collecting.
However you choose to sew it, this multi-sized pattern is designed for sizes 1 – 12 and features co-
lour coding for ease of cutting. It is suitable for advanced beginner-intermediate sewers (depending

Mix it Up!
Add even more style and individuality to your Duffle coat with these ideas:
• Play around with embellishments on the back panels - a big bow, ruffles, lace overlay, ‘but-
terfly’ contrast.
• Add hidden snaps to the front panel for extra security
• Test out different types of closures - big buttons down the front flaps would look great!
• Experiment with trims and lace - on pockets, hems or sewn in to seams
• Try using different colours, textures and weights of fabric.
A Note About Sizing

This duffle coat is designed to be a slim fit. Please be aware of this before choosing your
size. If your child is between sizes, go up to the larger size.
It will fit the measurements given on page 3 with light layers underneath. However if you
plan to layer the coat with heavier/thicker layers, you will need to go up a size.
Printing Guide
• IMPORTANT: Print ONLY the pages needed according to the style and size you are making - refer to the
table below.
• Pattern can be printed on A4 or letter paper.
• Page scaling must be set to NONE or ‘Actual Size’. Make sure you double check the 1” square on each page
to make sure it has printed correctly BEFORE you begin cutting.
• Assemble pattern pieces by order, according to large number on the page, using the diagram on the next
page as a guide.
How to print with Layers

With the ‘Layers’ functionality you have the ability to print ONLY the size/s that you require, saving you ink
and also reducing the confusion of having many lines close together.
To do so:
• Select the Layers icon on the left of the screen
• OR go to View in the dropdown menu, then select Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Layers
• You will now see a list of layers in the PDF. There will be one layer for each size and then an extra layer for
the page and pattern markings/labels. You can select which sizes to print by clicking the eye icon next
to the name of each layer. As you turn layers on and off using the eye icons, these changes will be reflected
on the screen. When you are ready, simply print your pattern as you usually would - being sure that the
scaling is set to NONE, Actual size or 100%.
• IMPORTANT: Make sure the ‘Pattern Markings’ & ‘Page Markings’ layers are ALWAYS ON when you
are printing, otherwise you will not see pattern/page labels and information , cut instructions, size mark-
ings, test squares etc.
If you are still confused and need more detailed guidance on using layers function check out our blog post
here www.tadahsewing.com.au/blogs/news/how-to-print-a-pdf-pattern-using-layers

Cutting out your fabric

There are so many possible combinations
in this pattern, that it is not possible to
show a cutting guide for each and every
combination.
On the right you will see a sample

cutting guide for a complete
QUICK-sew coat (size 12).
Lay your fabric out, then fold it with

right sides together.
Lay your pattern pieces on top and
move them around until you find the
most efficient way to use your fabric.
Outer
Lining
Some IMPORTANT things to remember when cutting:

* Take note and follow all instructions written on the pattern pieces (e.g ‘on fold’, how many to cut etc)
* Make sure your mark the MIDDLE and FRONT of the sleeve piece with an erasable fabric pen.
* Mark the button placement marks on the front flap pieces.
* For the PRO-finish front: On the lower front piece make sure you transfer the ‘M’ (for middle) from the
pattern pieces. This is to help with assembling the pattern later, as this piece can be confusing otherwise.
* For the PRO-finish front: If you are using directional fabric, make sure you take this in to account when
cutting your pocket lining. You will need to cut it upside down (as shown below) so that your print is the
right way up on the finished jacket.
* If you are using a medium (or light) weight fabric for the front flaps, you will need to cut 2 interfacing also.

Constructing the Pattern

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The first THREE sections of this pattern are for the PRO-FINISH options only. If you have not chosen to use
any pro-finish options (see p4 for choices) then please skip to the ‘Sew Lining’ section on page 14.
If you HAVE chosen a pro-finish for the front, back or lining of your Duffle Coat, please follow the required
section/s: * Prepare Pro-Finish front (page 8, below)
* Prepare the Pro-Finish back (page 10)
* Prepare the Pro-Finish lining (page 12)

36 Take the hood lining (which should

still be inside out) and place it around
the hood outer. Hood outer and lining

TIP: Mark the centre of the neckline with a pin and match it with the seam on the hood (or centre
point on the collar) for quick and accurate pinning.

Assemble the Coat

49 Lay your front flap pieces down each side of your outer coat. The flaps should be positioned 1/2”
(12mm) from the TOP EDGE of the neckline. Pin and then baste flaps in place.
1/2” gap at top
IMPORTANT!
If you are doing the Pro-Finish toggle ties, you need to place your flap piece with the toggle ties
facing DOWN.
It is also good to use the following conventions:
For a GIRLS coat: lay it down on the left side of the coat (as you look at it)
For a BOYS coat: lay it down on the right side of the coat (as you look at it).
50 Lay your lining and outer coat pieces RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER. Pin along the bottom hem.
Do not worry about pinning the remainder of the coat - at the moment we are only concerned with
sewing the hem.
Sew hem with regular 1/2” (12mm) seam allowance.

Press seam UP (towards lining) then open the jacket up and topstitch (from the right side) the seam
approx 1/8” (3mm) from the seam line.
PIN then SEW

51 Once you have topstitched the hem, lay your coat down again with lining and outer RIGHT sides
together (sleeves stay separate at this point).
Begin by matching the shoulder seams. Pin in place.
Then pin around the neckline - make sure your hood/collar stays in place.
Then work your way from the neckline down the front of the coat, sandwiching the front flap (and
toggle ties if using).
When you get to the bottom of the coat you will notice that the outer fabric actually wraps around and
goes up a little on the lining side. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK!
Once you have it all pinned in place, sew carefully making sure that your hood/collar, front flaps and
toggle ties all stay in the right place as you sew.
52 Before turning the coat the right side out, we are going to prepare the sleeve hems.
On EACH sleeve (both lining and outer fabric) fold the hem up 1/2” (12mm) and press thoroughly.

53 Find the 6” gap that you left in one of

the side seams of the lining (I told you
that was important!!) and turn your
coat out through that hole.
Once your coat is turned out, remove
the basting stitches around the hood/
collar, on the front flaps and on the
toggle ties.
Use a chop stick or blunt pencil to
push out the corners.
Press your coat carefully. Then
topstitch down the front of the jacket
approx 1/8” (3mm) from the seam as
shown in red.
54 Line up your sleeve hems (pressed

in step 51) and join together by
topstitching as close to the edge as
possible.
55 Locate your gap in the lining. Pinch Then sew it closed as close as possible to the edge.
the gap between your fingers and
pin it closed.
TIP: If you would like a neater finish, you can hand sew the gap closed using a simple slip stitch.

Attach Toggles
56 For the Pro-Finish: Use

your toggle ties as a guide
to position your toggles/
buttons.
For the Quick-Sew: Place

57 your premade toggle
pieces in place according
to the placement marks
on the (front flap) pattern
piece.
Sew carefully in place.
Tadah!
Your fabulously cosy Duffle Coat is
now finished!

Glossary
Backstitch: Used to reinforce your sewing and help keep it from unraveling. Just put your machine in the
reverse position for a few stitches.
Baste: A series of long, loose stitches used to temporarily hold together two pieces of fabric during construc-
tion.
Bias Tape/Binding: A narrow piece of fabric cut on the bias (45 degrees to the selvedge) and used to bind
edges.
Edge Stitching: A stitch made very close to a folded edge, generally 1/8” or less, in order to finish a garment,
close an opening, or stitch something into place
Fabric Grain: Grain is the way the fabric is woven or knitted together. If you look really closely at your fabric
you will see little threads that run parallel and perpendicular to the selvage. This is the grain of the fabric.
Gather: Pulling fabric into tiny pleats for a decorative effect. To create a gather sew a basting stitch on the
right side of the fabric leaving long tails of thread. Gently tug the bobbin threads to evenly gather the fabric.
Hem: The bit you turn up at the bottom of a garment to keep it neat and stop it fraying.
Miter: Mitering a corner makes a smooth, tidy finish to a 90-degree corner, neatly squaring the corners while
creating a diagonal seam from the point of the corner to the inside edge.
Notches: Diamond shaped marks on the edge of the pattern, to help you to line up all the pattern pieces
when you sew the garment.
Overlock: A stitch made by an overlocker that cuts and finishes the fabric edge.
Pinking Shears: Scissors with a V shape along the cutting edge used to cut fabric. Pinking your edges will
help them remain essentially ravel-free.
Pressing: Pressing is different from ironing. For pressing use a dampened pressing cloth rather than steam,
pick the iron up off the cloth and move it, rather than rubbing back and forth.
Raw Edge: The cut edge of a piece of garment (not stitched or finished). It may fray or unravel if left in this
state.
Right Side: The outside or top side of fabric; usually softer or smoother, or printed
Rolled Hem: Usually sewn by an overlocker (refer to your manual for directions). It can also be done by
hand with a folding technique – fold, fold again, fold again, and stitch through the rolled hem you have creat-
ed.
Snap: A closure device generally composed of two parts, male and female. Snaps can be sewn in or you can
use a special snap tool to attach snaps to the fabric.
Top Stitching: A decorative stitch usually sewn 1/4” from the edge of a seam.
Wrong Side: The inside or back side of fabric; usually rougher or less finished.
Zig Zag Stitch: A machine stitch with a continuous “Z” type design that allows seams to stretch; a medi-
um-wide zig zag can be used on the raw edge of fabric to prevent fraying.
