Fabric Suggestions: 
Main Fabric: Lightweight coating or medium weight fabrics such as cotton or tencel twill, gabardine, or linen. Make sure your fabric has drape to allow the swing shape of the coat to hang properly. We recommend fabric weights between 5 – 8 oz.
Pocket Lining Fabric: lightweight cotton fabrics such as chambray, lawn, or pocketing.

Notions:
• Thread
 • 6 x 1" buttons
 • 12 yds pre-made 1/4" double fold bias tape if binding seam allowances
• Fusible Interfacing: woven or tricot interfacing in a similar, or slightly lighter, weight as your main fabric
