This is a PDF Sewing Pattern which you will need to print.

Looking for a coat project with a little storybook charm? The Storybook Swing Coat is a joyful make, full of thoughtful details and a soft, nostalgic feel. Inspired by classic childhood outerwear but reimagined for a modern wardrobe, it’s the kind of piece that feels instantly special the moment you put it on.

Designed with an oversized Peter Pan-style collar and gently shaped inset sleeves, it offers a neat fit through the shoulders while leaving room to layer comfortably underneath. The sleeves are intentionally a little longer for a cosy, pulled-over-the-hands feel, but can just as easily be rolled back for everyday wear. A back yoke and deep pleat create that signature swing silhouette, giving the coat beautiful movement and an easy, playful shape. Finished with three buttons at the neckline, oversized rounded patch pockets and softly curved front edges, it’s packed with those satisfying details that make sewing feel really rewarding.

Suggested Fabric: Medium weight woven fabrics such as denim, twill or canvas. Choose something with a little structure to hold the shape of the coat beautifully.

Fabric Requirements: Please refer to the FIND YOUR SIZE tab for detailed fabric requirements and finished garment measurements. The coat is designed to be fitted through the shoulders with a relaxed fit through the body, making it ideal for layering.
