McCall's 8123 R5: a coat with character

Suitable for an intermediate sewing project

Fabric suggestions for your coat

For the best result, choose a fabric with enough body, such as wool or a wool blend. A suitable lining fabric will help the coat wear comfortably and finish neatly. If you are looking for fabric by the metre for a classic women’s coat, this McCall’s sewing pattern is a practical and stylish option.
