It was a very easy pattern, no lining and only 4 pieces. I also 'cheated' on the buttons by using press studs and sewing buttons on the outside. I thought the coat needed big buttons and new if I tried big button holes they would look a little untidy. These are the last of some hand made buttons my Mum bought back from Sydney a few years ago.

Great coat! I love that it's called 'snitmonster'. By Onion. teehee
Very nice coat Kate - those buttons are perfect!
Looks fabulous! Much better than the pic on the pattern.
I have some Onion patterns languishing somewhere in my stash..should hunt them out!
its gorgeous! the buttons really finish it off beautifully. is it really that cold over there?
Hehe "snitmonster"!! Great pattern; you gotta love those easy-sews!!
The coat looks great. You do make clothes so well! I wish I could sew clothes that look good on me, rather than looking like some grade 5 mishap!
Lovely! I've been eyeing a few coat patterns lately due to the cold and as a new challenge since I've never had a go at one. What is the fabric that you used?
Love it Kate, can't wait to see it getting around school. Funny enough I just brought some wool fabric this week to make some sort of wrap.
Beautiful coat. And it's such a great fit considering it's just 4 pieces. Have you bought any patterns from Shop Onion? I'm thinking I'd love to buy a copy of this.
Love the coat.I am going to Demark in a week or so, are there any must see in fabric shops. Sandra
