I’m very pleased with my finished Clare Coat. It’s not perfect by any means, but it fits, it’s wearable, warm, and it’s my favorite color!




I would not recommend interlining your first coat with Thinsulate. It was a bit of a mess. I wish I had kept it simple the first time around instead of being so ambitious. But, I made it work in the end. I think my Grandma would be proud of me.
Pattern is Clare Coat by Closet Core patterns: a great first coat to make! They have lots of tutorials. Fabric is wool melton from Vogue Fabrics, and lining is China silk.
I love the color and it looks so good on you!

It looks great, such a lovely colour on you. I bet it’s super warm with the thinulate lining though.

I had troubles when I used thinsulate but I put on my lining. If it were less stiff it would be much easier to handle. Your coat is wonderful,and that blue is perfect for you!
