This tutorial takes you through the steps of how to create your own custom full length coat with lining! It's a fairly easy self drafting process and perfect for layering during those cooler days. You can upcycle a thrifted wool blanket like I've done in the past or choose your preferred cosy fabric.
Make what you can and ethically source the rest!
The Essentials Club tutorial channel is all about sharing the steps to become more resourceful and creative with crafting your own minimal, conscious wardrobe.
Suggested Fabric Amount Required (based off full length):
Size Extra Small = 2m
Size Small = 2.3m
Size Medium = 2.5m
Size Large = 2.7m

(add or take 0.2 metres for anything larger or smaller than these sizes)
NOTE: These measurements are based on buying 'off the roll' which is approx 1.4m wide.
