BERNINA Corporate Blog -Are you looking for your next sewing challenge? Test your skills or learn to work with new materials with this month’s free pattern, the children’s coat “Julia” from our magazine “inspiration”.
You can download the pattern and instructions for free until November 30, 2022 in the paragraph “Download the free sewing pattern for the coat “Julia” (November only)”. As always, you’ll have to be quick because each pattern is only available for free download in the month stated.
Sewing the children’s coat “Julia”
The coat features several elements a child will love:
- Three large pockets to store everything from handkerchiefs to toys, biscuits and other treasures
- The hood can be tied if neccessairy and fastened with the small cord stoppers
- The zip facing ensures that no rain or wind can trespass
The coat is made from coated cotton fabric, which has undergone a coating procedure during the production process to become more functional (for example waterproof). Fabrics with coatings are often stiffer and can be trickier to sew, which is why a Zigzag Foot with Non-Stick Sole #52 will come in handy. We recommend choosing a softer fabric if you plan to sew a small size.
The coat “Julia” has decorative piping on the side seam, which is made of the same fabric as the inside of the hood. There is a big pocket on the back, just in case the large pockets in the front are still not big enough for everything needed to go on an adventure outside. The zip facing on the inside folds over the collar to prevent the zipper from rubbing against the chin.
Take a look at the magazine…
The pattern and sewing instructions for the coat “Julia” appeared in the inspiration Magazine 1/2021.
This issue of Inspiration surprises you with all-rounders, such as parka or T-shirts, as well as with genuine trend pieces that can be combined in a variety of ways. Basics such as skirts, a shirt blouse dress or a biker jacket are certainly not missing. They complement the wardrobe perfectly.
