Can’t believe that it has already been more than a year since I published my last pattern. My life offline as well as a new job have limited my time this year. I actually made this leopard coatigan at the end of last year for a blogger meet-up in Hamburg because you need make something new for such an event after all. 😉 You might wonder what a coatigan actually is. As the name already suggests it is a mixture between a coat and a cardigan. A coatigan is usually unlined but consists of warming material so that it can be worn as a coat in the transitional period and as a cardigan during winter time. For my coatigan I used a thick felted knit fabric from Maybachufer market. This pattern actually works for thick knit materials and coat fabrics that are not too heavy. I can also imagine it being made from sweat fabrics.
I’m especially fond of the hidden pockets in the front as they keep my hands nice and warm. 🙂 As the coatigan is unlined and has press buttons as closure it can be sewn rather quickly and is also suitable for intermediate beginners. I will actually post step-by-step instructions here next week. In the mean time, I have already used this pattern for a solid grey version and as I’m really loving this shape, I want to share this pattern with you. Since it is almost christmas, I will be giving this pattern away as a free download until January 5, 2020 and afterwards in my Etsy shop. By the way, this pattern was named after the small town Alette in the French department Pas-de-Calais. I hope you like this pattern and please use the hashtags #alettecoatigan & #sewionistapatterns and tag @sewionista to share your makes with us. Happy sewing!

Vielen lieben Dank für das Schnittmuster! Ich hab schon einen schönen Strickstoff in ausreichender Menge hier liegen und könnte gleich nach den Feiertagen loslegen. Ich freu mich schon, nach der Weihnachtsgeschenke-Produktion wieder was für mich selbst zu nähen. Ich wünsche Dir schöne Weihnachten und einen guten Start ins neue Jahr – ich werde auch 2020 wieder gerne hier mitlesen.
Liebe Gisela,
vielen Dank für deine lieben Worte! Es freut mich sehr, dass du das Schnittmuster gut gebrauchen kannst und ich bin gespannt auf deine Version.
Ich wünsche dir auch schöne Feiertage und einen guten Start ins neue Jahr!
Liebe Grüße

Hallo Sewionista,
vielen Dank für die schönen Fotos und die tolle Präsentation deiner Mode. Der Leomantel ist echt klasse und passt zu vielen Outfits. Habe ihn mir runter geladen, aber frage nicht wie lange ich suchen musste. Bin leider etwas unbedarft was diese Post-Internet-Dinge angeht. Konnte danach garnicht glauben, dass dies so einfach geht. Also noch mal vielen Dank für dein tolles Design.
Grüße AlexBlond
