The Darcy Coat is an elegant and comfortable coat that is designed for throwing over any outfit. Whether you're wearing chunky winter layers or a simple summer outfit, the Darcy Coat will drape over the top and work with your body not against it.
You can create winter or summer versions which can be lined or unlined (you will receive instructions for both options) and the pattern now comes with two lengths. You can choose between welt pockets or patch pockets depending on your skill level and and the additional Gusset Pocket hack is included with the pattern. This is the probably the most complex make in this designer's range but it is well worth the effort.

Notions:
* Fastenings - you can use buttons or snaps or a combination of both for your fastenings.
- Buttons: We recommend buttons with a width of 2/3cm for the centre front and a width of 1/1.5cm for the sleeve tab.
- Snaps: We recommend 12mm snaps. You will need 6 buttons or snaps for the centre front fastening and 6 buttons or snaps for the sleeve tabs
* Shoulder Pads - if you would like to add a shoulder pad you’ll need 2 pads that are suitable for coats.
* Thread - you can choose either a matching or contrasting thread.
* Pocketing - if you’d prefer to use a pocketing for your welt pockets (instead of lining) you will need a small piece of cotton fabric for the welt pocket bags
