Phoebe Coat
Modern yet timeless, Phoebe is a double-breasted coat with a cocoon shape. Fully lined, it features a dramatic notched collar and lapel that can also be worn closed to stop drafts. The dropped shoulder, roomy two-piece sleeve, and oversized fit make this coat ideal for layering over bulky winter layers. Destined to keep you warm on the coldest of days, this pattern is a great introduction to sewing tailored garments.
- View A is below-knee length with large patch pockets.
- View B ends at mid-thigh with inseam pockets.

Customer Reviews
Fun and thorough and a joy to watch. I'm feeling ready to invest in the fabric and the time to make this coat now - so excited!
This is the first class I have taken with Closet Core Patterns and I will definitely take more. Heather is clear, precise and full of helpful tips. The video is such great quality-I can see all of her stitches without straining. I have learned so much about working with wool and coat making but so much more that I can apply to the rest of my sewing. Thank you!!
Finally! I found a place where I can up my sewing game and really learn techniques that I’ve been dying to master in a safe and supportive environment. Heather and the closet core crew are fabulous. A particular shout out to Montserrat for her encouragement and also to the fabulous pattern drafting team ! The classes are perfect. They are well edited. You can see Heather clearly demonstrating construction techniques facing challenges that we all face at our own machines and conquering! She is very fun to watch. I find it highly entertaining and a special bonus when she recommends watching Gilmore girls while doing something mundane like applying interfacing. Even if you have never made a coat before,this class willl lead you through to success. The step-by-step demonstrations and instructions coupled with the awesome pattern, supplementary fitting booklet, Team support, and a forum to share with supportive, classmates are perfect.. I’ve never made a coat before. I attempted a blazer once and failed at the collar and now know why thanks to Heather’s excellent demonstrations. This class is worth every penny and if you’re thinking of it for yourself or for a friend who wants to make a coat, you will not be disappointed. I shared a few photos of my progress during construction and the final photo will be available in the very near future.
Enjoy these classes very much. Although I've been sewing for a very long time, I still learn new things. Heather does an excellent job!
I MADE A COAT!!! I loved taking this class and I learned so much in each lesson. I am a garment sewer but because I live on an island, it's been hard to find classes that take my skills up to a higher level. This class took me to a higher level. I worked slowly and carefully... it's not "perfect", but no work of art ever is complete. Oddly enough, I immediately started searching for wool online in order to make another coat! You'd think I'd had enough, but apparently not! I can't say enough good about Heather Lou. Not only is she skilled and knowledgeable, she's so witty and saucy and fun to watch. She made this whole process one that I looked forward to with each day and each lesson. Thank you ALL for making this happen. This will not be the last class I take from Closet Core!
