Fleece Shirt
Butterick 6520 in a Danish Cotton Fleece knit. When travelling to Minnesota over the holidays, staying warm is key. I wanted a new warm tunic top and needed some color in my wardrobe. A version of B6520 in Copen Blue Cotton Fleece Knit fit the bill. Super cozy and comfy. Easy to cut and easy to sew kept things simple. The fabric was washed on ’normal' and dried in the dryer. It came out looking exactly the same. Cut as shown on the pattern, except for the collar as noted below. The curved seams on the right lower front and back were adjusted to overlap. The seam was pressed up, stitched in place, and trimmed. I decided on no ties. A second pocket was added to the lower left front. On both pockets, I lined up the stitching for a continuous line. The collar was cut narrower than shown and randomly stitched with tucks to narrow it further.

Cozy Coat
Re-introducing Marcy’s design, V9140, aka the “Cozy Coat,” designed for both comfort and elegance. This versatile piece wraps effortlessly around your body, keeping you snug and warm, while also flowing gracefully when worn open. Featuring an elegant hood that can be styled up for extra warmth but lies in flat folds when worn down.While originally designed for knit fabrics, it has enough ease to be made from a woven. A soft drape is important. Consider that the wrong side will show. If you choose a woven, consider sizing up to accommodate layering over other garments. Fabrics shown on the pattern envelope are wool knits.Shown here in a mid-weight ottoman-like ribbed double knit that worked perfectly in the design. Other fabric options range from lighter-weight knits to beefy boiled wool. Would be sumptuous in mohair or cashmere, but could also work for warmer weather in a linen knit or stable jersey. Depending on the fabric, this could be worn outdoors or in, and makes a perfect toss-on top layer for everyday or for a special occasion.Sewing and fitting this coat is a breeze. The original pattern had a slightly narrow wrist opening, so we made a small adjustment: we altered it to finish at 5 inches to accommodate garments layered underneath. When making the welt pocket, be sure to position the welt so the pocket opens in the right direction! If you are new to making welt pockets, make a test sample first. Another option is to substitute patch pockets instead. Vogue 9140 in a cozy ribbed double knit.
