Another option is the Sew Over It Jessie coatigan. I haven't made this one but says it's for confident beginners and isn't lined - although once you're feeling more confident there is a lining add-on ...

Love this, you can't get much more festive than this!! It looks so good

Oooh I'm very interested to try the Jenerates silcone hemmer - such a great idea! 

Loving these tips! Interesting about combining the apple and pear options - did you lay one pattern over the top of the other and blend them or something else?

Loving these goals Mel! Have you got a coat pattern in mind?

Haha, yes I think that's plenty to be getting on with for January!! Do you have patterns in mind for all of these?
