One More Coat: Marfy F6107

Already hints of the spring patterns are coming out, but since it is currently snowing by me, I thought I would share a coat that could be for worn as we move towards early spring. The baby blue version especially seems perfect for spring. This is a Marfy pattern, an Italian line, which is carried by Vogue Patterns in the US. This slim coat has a large pointed shawl collar that can be worn open or closed, princess lines, and on-seam pockets in the front. The sleeves are set-in and I suspect they are two pieces which means they are shaped to the slight bend of the arm.

They suggest velour for fabric, by which I think they mean wool velour, or boiled wool, but I could see this in all kinds of medium-weight coatings and in even lighter weights if you live where it doesn’t get that cold. With all the seams, you want a solid or a very small woven pattern.

Remember, Marfy patterns proclaim they are for the “expert.” You get the pattern pieces and even those don’t have seam allowances or hem allowances, but that’s about it. No diagrams for cutting layouts on the fabric are offers and no instructions for assembly. So, unless you are confident in your ability to work out the construction, a muslin would be in order to test not only the fit, but the construction.
