{"product_id":"folkwear-262-spectator-coat","title":"Folkwear 262 Spectator Coat","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eBuy the 262 Spectator Coat sewing pattern from Folkwear. This 1925-era coat comes in two different fully lined versions, both with widely cuffed set-in sleeves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eView A is low-calf length and features a sweeping cape collar, two off-centre front button-and-loop closures, and deep patch pockets. The collar, cuffs, and pockets provide marvellous design possibilities for contrast fabric, decorative stitching, appliqué, quilting, beading, stencilling, embroidery, or even embellishing with woven strips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnkle-length View B features a curving front hem that attractively envelops the legs. The pleated right front, asymmetrical front button-and-loop closures, and stand-up chin-brushing collar create a truly dramatic look. The cuffs and collar can be cut from sumptuous faux fur, velvet, or satin brocade for a very top-drawer vintage effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo easy-sew companion hats complete the period look. The cloche was undoubtedly the most memorable hat design of the 1920s, and this one is the traditional shape. Its wide cuff-type brim sits close to the crown and lends itself to all the same decorative techniques as the View A coat. The turban was another popular mid-1920s style and was commonly trimmed with an aigrette, a jewelled and feathered ornament clipped to the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e (available to download immediately after purchase). \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thefoldline.com\/how-to-buy-sewing-patterns\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop\u003c\/strong\u003e (We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you'll need to download the digital instructions, as we don't print these.
