Sewing for Women

Brave the cold with wonderful women’s winter coat sewing patterns

Winter is coming (is that line getting old?), so it’s time to think about sewing cozy winter clothes. Feel snuggly and warm when you head outside with these winter coat sewing patterns for women. Don’t get stuck with a boring black coat from the store. Make one to suit your personality!

Now, I live in the desert, so I don’t need a winter coat for daily life, but I am heading to colder climes for Christmas. And not being used to the cold, I’m going to need something very warm. But a winter coat also needs to be stylish, and fit my personality. Coats in the store tend to be  the standard winter colours – blacks, greys and the occasional red (which really doesn’t go with my red hair!). If I want a winter coat that’s a little different, I’m going to have to make it myself.

Winter Coat Fabrics Tips

The best fabrics for winter coats are medium to heavy weight fabrics, that still have some drape. This gives the coat structure and warmth. Great fabric choices for winter coat sewing are wool, velvet, tweed and cashmere.

Checking out the upholstery fabric section of your favourite fabric store can turn up some great options (but just keep fabric drape in mind). These fabrics often have a lovely texture that can hide any imperfections in your sewing. Only choose a plaid if you’re willing to take the time to match up your print carefully.  

But before you choose your fabric, let’s choose your sewing pattern. Here’s a great selection of winter coat sewing patterns:
