How To Sew The Delphine Coat Free Sewing Pattern:
Use a 1/2″ seam allowance for all seams unless otherwise specified.
Sewing with Fur: (Acrylic, Polyester)
Needle: Use a large ballpoint needle (size 90/14 or 100/16) to handle the thick fibers.
Stitch Length: A longer stitch length of about 3.0-4.0mm is ideal to prevent bulkiness.
Tips –
- Use a walking foot to help manage the layers and prevent slipping.
- Baste the seams before sewing to keep everything aligned.
- Sew with the fur side facing up to see how the fabric behaves.
Sewing with Brocades: (Lurex, Wool)
Needle: Use a universal needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) or a sharp needle for finer brocade.
Stitch Length: A medium stitch length of 2.5-3.0mm works well for most brocade fabrics.
Tips –
- Press seams carefully with a low iron setting to avoid damaging the texture.
- Use interfacing to add structure if needed, especially for garments.
- Pin or clip carefully, as brocade can be bulky and prone to shifting.
Step 1
To get the perfect placement for the pockets, cut a window out on the front pattern and place it over the main fabric. Sew the pockets by topstitching around the edges.
Step 2
Sew the back pieces together at center back.
Step 3
Sew front and back together at the shoulder seams for the main fabric and the lining fabric.
Step 4
Sew front and back together at the side seams for the main fabric and the lining fabric.
Step 5
Sew the 2 cuff pieces together along the bottom edge. If you are working with heavier fur, you can cut the cuff on fold and fold it over to avoid sewing 2 pieces together
Step 6
Turn the cuff over and align the raw edges, then sew to the bottom of the sleeve.
Step 7
Close the sleeves by sewing the inseam on the main fabric and the lining.
Step 8
Set the sleeve in and sew around the armhole for the main fabric and the lining.
Step 9
Join the main fabric and the lining by sewing them together along the neckline and front edges. Leave 2″ at the bottom of the front edges open so you have room to hem the main fabric. Turn the coat right side out, insert the lining sleeves in the main fabric sleeves, then blind stitch them together at the ends of the sleeves.
Step 10
Hem the main fabric (1″), then fold the bottom of the lining inside and finish with an invisible stitch covering the hem seam of the main fabric.

Once again this design is beautiful and very versatile. Such a creative talent. In brocade, maybe without the fur, but something….would make a gorgeous evening coat.? However, sadly, at 39. A yard, for myself….a poor man’s coat. ❤️
I’m making this in a double wool without the fur cuffs or pockets and would like advice on what fastenings to use. I live in New England and would like to be able to close it.
Thanks!
Hello, for the closure you can choose between outerwear buttons, toggle buttons, or snap closures.
I am interested in making this beautiful coat with the fabrics suggested. However, I would like to omit the fur pockets, keeping the fur cuffs. Could you recommend the yardage for the fur for size M? Thanks.
Hello, you would just need a half yard (0.5) of fur fabric.
Looking forward to making this coat! Do you have more photos of how to finish the edges of the front fabric pieces? Particularly at the angle?
Hey Ann Marie, sorry for the late reply. I recommend you check out one of our more recent patterns like the Perugia Peplum Blazer for more detailed instructions on how to finish the front opening of a coat or jacket. Let me know how your project turned out!
I want to make this coat and would like to know the yardage needed for my size. Surely not every size needs only 2.5 yards of fabric?
Hello, you can toggle the ‘SHOP THIS LOOK’ box to find quantities for other sizes. As you select different sizes, the yardage amount will change accordingly.
I would like to make this coat without the sleeves, making it a vest. Any suggestions?
Hi Krista! You can absolutely make the coat without the sleeves. All you would have to do to finish the vest is clean up the raw edges at the armscye, either with bias tape or by folding in the raw edges and sewing them right sides together.
Would the back work if it was put on the fold so there wouldn’t be a seam.
Yes, you could definitely just cut the back on fold to eliminate the seam.
