PROJECT
If you're looking for the perfect Autumn trench-style coat, ideal for transitional dressing, then this is the workshop for you! Over this weekend workshop you will sew up the Merchant and Mills September Coat, perfect for layering up in Winter or throwing on over a t-shirt in Spring. This workshop includes all of the materials required for this project so you don't need to source anything yourself. We will send you the pattern and fabric, a beautiful deadstock classic, camel cotton twill from a very high-end London-based designer. Work through this involved project with the support of our skilled teacher Juliette and leave with a finished coat!
Please note, the September Coat has a hip measurement range of 86cm-145cm, if you fall outside of this range please let us know beforehand and we'll adjust the pattern for you.
