  I like your trench coat, and I’m impressed with how you proceed with the pattern drafting. I’ve been teaching myself to do this, but so far my patterns are much simpler than yours. One day I hope to be able to do a trench, and I’ll use yours as a reference.

  thanks for this how-to, I like your trench a lot! see if i can make it for the next autumn, I’m taking a basic pattern drafting course right now (evenings, once/week) and the bodice part comes somewhere in march. i’ll have to wait until then to have something to alter ;)

  I’m glad that you like this trench too. Hi, Silverrain-x………

  Back home in bangkok,1994 , I took a course (about 3 months) on drafting basic slopers including bodice, skirt and pants. I was tough how to do all type of collars, sleeves, skirts, moving darts, and pockets. About 5 years ago , I also took the pattern making 101 at Parson, NY. Other than that, I self teach. I found that “ease” is very important in the pattern making but both schools did not teach me that (may be because the courses I took were very basic).

  I love the trench coat! Your version looks so alike to the original! Thank you very much for this how to! Just a question, did you self teach yourself in pattern drafting? or did you take an official course?
