This is a free sewing pattern and tutorial for a sleeveless coat, with seam allowances (S/A) included for beginners.
Designed for spring and autumn wear, this coat features slightly extended shoulder width to balance the absence of sleeves. The armholes are slightly smaller than those of a standard coat for a neater fit.
The collar is made in two parts—a stand collar on the upper section and lapels on the lower section—secured with a simple facing construction, making it approachable even for beginners.
Note: In men's and women's versions, the front overlap is reversed, so the button placement, buttonhole position, and decorative button details will differ.
For best results, use a slightly lighter-weight fabric as recommended in the “Required Materials” section.
After printing, align the pages along the guide lines, cut along the edges, and the pattern is ready to use.
The production process is explained with translation software.
