I'm using lap quilts so I don't want to waste any fabric

Oh and ideally in inches

Thanks

Sorry, what are Bog coats..?

KatyMac · 03/11/2024 22:25

Low waste coats/jackets based on an angelo saxon pattern

Commonly made from a blanket

Hang on I'll find a link

Ah, interesting. Personally, I would use an old sheet to make up a pattern to the measurements needed for each individual child. It looks very simple, so shouldn't take long.

I'm making them to sell so the children don't exist

I think my best bet is to measure the pattern pieces on a children's jacket; I was just hoping there was a decent table of sizes that worked

Adult ones are suitably vague in size so you can turn the cuffs if needed
