We will redesign the Cascade Cardi / Blazer pattern from Pamela's Patterns to make your own Coatigan (Coat + Cardigan). With just a few design changes we can convert the pattern into a fabulous unlined mid-season coat. Make it out of a light-weight linen knit for a flowy duster length cardigan, a double knit or boiled wool for a great layering piece for those transition seasons.
We will work thru the design changes, fit, and sew your version in this workshop. Add welt pockets or decorative stitching to make this something uniquely designed by you!
Skill Level: Basic sewing experience required.
Please note this is a 26 hour workshop held over 4 days.
Dates: Mar 20,21,27,28 2026 9:00a.m.-4:00p.m.
