Hello friends!
We have an epic sewing project and video here—I made the Bella Loves Patterns “Traveller Coat”!
This is a classic shape and in a perfectly relaxed, oversized silhouette.
Check out my *entire* process for making this coat in the video, and refer back to it as often as you need to when you sewing your own.
Please keep in mind: there are many different ways to sew a garment. I *mostly* followed the pattern instructions, and made one or two small adjustments. This video is to support your efforts. If something doesn’t quite make sense, go with what you know! 💜
And when in doubt, refer back to the pattern instructions.
Fabric and pattern details are below!
