Bianca's Poppy Coat
21—January 2025
Check out this delightful Poppy Coat sewn by Bianca!
Online team member Bianca said she fell in love with this beautiful green coating as soon as it came in, and knew that she had to make a Poppy Coat! She's heading off on a trip to Canada soon, and a cosy Poppy to throw on over layers is just the ticket for northern travels! Read on for project details and lots of snuggly photos!





Pattern Used — Make by TFS Poppy Coat
Our Make by TFS Poppy Coat is a modern oversized coat pattern, with an enveloping silhouette and exaggerated detailing. This pattern is fully lined with a single front button closure, playful curved collar and notch lapel, long sleeves and generous front welt pockets. Two views provide alternative length options, with View A offered in full length and View B in mid length. With generous ease throughout the body, Poppy is ideal for layering up over sweaters and jackets to shield you from the elements in cool weather. Bianca made a size 6, which took 3.5m of Mohair / Alpaca Blend Coating - Emerald and 2.25m of Liberty Tana Lawn Adelajda / X for lining.
This coat project took Bianca around three or four days of sewing, spread over multiple sessions. She said she spent a fair amount of time pulling the fluffy pile out of some seams and combing it over to blend one piece into another. She found the size 6 a generous fit, and would probably size down to a 4 for her next coat. Bianca said she'll be wearing this coat during her trip to Canada in a few weeks time, and has a great fluffy blue bucket hat to wear it with!
