Ooooh I love a coat! The Florence jacket looks like it would be complex to make up. But it’s not. Instructions, as always with Size Me, are well written and explain the process well. I will admit I did wonder why the internal understitching was included and it wasn’t the easiest step to do, however when it’s completed it does prevent the front and back from rolling apart if that makes sense, and gives a very crisp professional finish. So well done Donna for including this step! I probably will make another of these jackets simply because I’m not overly keen on my fabric choice for the one I made so I’m thinking another needs to be made and did I mention that I love a coat…..
