Nov 2 2021

Our Make by TFS Poppy Coat makes the most incredible base for showcasing so many different coating fabrics including timeless tones like fawn, ecru and camel. Practical, stylish, and simple to pair with everything from jeans and a tee, tailored pants and a simple shirt, to dresses and your favourite knits, a calming neutral-coloured coat is a must for the #MeMade wardrobe! This week we add a classic mid-length Poppy to our Make by TFS wardrobe, kindly modelled by Ella from our HQ team.

Pattern

Make by TFS Poppy Coat

Our Poppy Coat pattern is a modern oversized coat with an enveloping silhouette and exaggerated detailing, the perfect balance of practicality and style! This pattern is fully lined with a single front button closure, playful curved collar and notch lapel, long sleeves, and generous front welt pockets. Two views provide alternative length options, with View A offered in full length and View B in mid-length. For this soft colour, we chose the mid-length and made up a size 10 for Ella with no mods. This used approximately 2.7m of our deadstock Wool/Nylon Coating - Fawn, plus 2.4m of Acetate Lining - Cream and one Recycled Paper Button 25.4mm - Light.

We LOVE how ultra-classic this looks in the fawn-coloured coating, perfect to pair with pretty much everything! Poppy would make the perfect outerwear addition to any sewists wardrobe and is a garment designed to last you a lifetime. With generous ease throughout the body, Poppy is ideal for layering up over sweaters and jackets to shield you from the elements in cool weather. Pair Poppy up with our Make by TFS Cass Pant and Fog Tee, or throw over an Ivy or Bloom Dress.
