Trench Coats is a deep-dive pattern cutting project where you'll learn how to draft, fit, and construct your own fully custom trench coat.

You'll start by creating a coat block (either semi-fitted or oversized) and learn how to shape it to fit perfectly, including sleeve adjustments.

From there, we’ll walk through every classic trench detail: lapels, collar stands, storm flaps, vents, welt pockets, belts, cuff ties, and more.

You’ll also explore how to customise your design with creative options like raglan sleeves or colour blocking. By the end, you’ll have drafted, fitted, and sewn a trench coat that’s completely your own.
