This is a wonderful pattern! Where I live, it is incredibly cold in winter, but a loose-fitting garment like this can be layered over any coat to help insulate. I would add a hidden tie belt inside the coat for this reason. Maybe the scraps could make a hat? Normally when we are out in the deep-freeze, we don’t care how we look, but now we can look simply fabulous in these wonderful blanket wraps. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦…

ah so cool to hear - and yes, I'm about to make a snood from one of the scraps of mine! It's also useful to hang onto the scraps for making repairs if needed too (as can be needed sometimes when working with vintage fabrics) 🥰 ✨

@mishkalarsoncreations 7 ай бұрын

Your tips are really great! The one thing I would say, regarding using old blankets, otherwise known as vintage, is that the fibers may have already degraded to the point where some areas may fall apart part after washing from normal use when it’s made into a garment. I only know this, after having worked at a museum one summer when I was in college, where I assisted the repair department with vintage clothing. It was something that they talked about a lot and it is always stuck with me.

@sashastarlight 7 ай бұрын

Yes this can certainly be true! I always like to keep the small amount of fabric left over from these for use in repairs 👌 ✨

I love this pattern , I cut my coat with the blanket stitch trim running down the edge of the collar. I’m confused now that I may have done this wrong, however I’m thinking as long as you have a rectangle left after the sleeves are cut it doesn’t matter. I’m up to coat number 6. Your pattern is so easy and I have fallen in love with wool. Thank you so much.

@sashastarlight 11 ай бұрын

Yes that's right! You can have the blanket stitch at the collar or hem - just whichever you like the look of best on the individual blanket 🥰 that's so cool you've made 6!! 😱 😍 💕 love that 🙃 ✨

Wow you are a fantastic teacher and your design is great! I want to purchase your pattern but could you help me add a hood to the shawl collar? I just want to pull the collar up over my head, it doesn’t need to be tailored or anything perfect.

@sashastarlight 8 ай бұрын

ah thank you! I did have another customer add a hood - what I would say is it will look most polished 'grown on' to the pattern piece and you will need an extra large blanket to account for it. I'm always super happy to help with hacks/alts to my patterns - if you message me on Etsy I get back to everyone there within 24hrs 🥰 ✨

I bought a blanket of the minimum size because of the colors which I really like and because it seams quite difficult to find one as your rainbow one 😂😂 I already did one coat using your pattern (which is amazing!!) with a larger one blanket and I gifted it as a Xmas present to a close friend and...she doesn't stop telling me how she loves it!! Now this one's for myself and... I have tassels on the shorter side... struggling, but there's no other way than cut it this way to have them on the collar...suggestions?

@sashastarlight 5 ай бұрын

Hi Laura! I used the shorter side of the rainbow blanket as I wanted to use the tassles at the collar & there wasn't a lot of difference between the 2 lengths on that one. I'd advise the best thing to do is to drape the blanket around your shoulders in the 2 directions with the top turned back like the collar will be to get an idea of the final effect 🙃 Also just to add - for the fastest response for pattern help I get back to messages within about 12hrs max on Etsy so do feel free to message me if you'd like any more guidance 🥰 ✨

I love the blanket coats but I don't understand how you are able to get your machine to sew through two layers of blanket. My machine wouldn't even sew through an old worn out towel. Do you have a special industrial machine?

@sashastarlight 7 ай бұрын

Mine is an industrial but a lot of domestic machines can handle heavy cloth as well - although not all! If you're looking for a beefier machine on a budget I'd recommend a vintage Singer era 50s-70s or similar - the internal parts in those are solid metal, they're always repairable & are able to sew through anything! 👌 ✨
