Hello!
Welcome to our monthly appointment where I bitch about a sewing magazine I’ve been buying for years that never makes me happy.
Plaid Bamboo coat

I’ve always had a huge soft spot for outerwear; I have more coats than I can put in rotation in a winter and yet, I still drool over outerwear patterns or RTW coats and jackets I want to copy.
Anyway, after sewing outerwear as a job for three years, when I resigned last Autumn, one of the first things I decided to sew for myself after a long break was a coat.
Cleo + Freya

I’m probably the last sewist on the blogosphere to fall in love with the Cleo pinafore, but I’m finally there!
This pattern was released two years ago and it was HUGELY popular - just look at this Pinterest board!
In case you aren’t familiar with this pattern, Cleo is a dungaree dress that can be made with buckles or as a pinafore with buttons. There are two lengths available, mini- or knee-length hem with optional centre front split (I chose the latter).
The pattern also comes with a few options for patch pockets: a bigger one for the chest, and two smaller one for front or back hips. I initially cut the back hip pockets, but then omitted them because I couldn’t find a position I liked on me.
