Trend Alert! Step out with confidence in cosy boiled wool
Posted on
Boiled wool is our favourite trend for Autumn! The amazing thing about this fabric is you can cut and leave the edge and it won't fray. We've used it here to make our easy to sew Coatigan for our new workshop. This is a throw-it-over-anything garment that's so versatile to wear, you'll want to live in it all season!

Alternative Fabric: Sweatshirting
This is another super trendy & cosy fabric option for making a coatigan. These are our favourite!...
1) On a Budget Fluffy fleecy backed sweatshirting (100% polyester) from Fabric Land in Brighton. A great way to test out this project on a budget before remaking in a more expensive cloth. £5.69/m
2) Winter Luxury Fur plush back sweatshirting online from London based Ray-Stitch. SIB owner Kat REALLY wants to make a coatigan in this stunning fabric! £20/m
3) Go Green Organic cotton fleece back sweatshirting from Organic Textile Company's online shop. It comes in a variety of colours and is VERY wide, meaning it will cost you less in fabric to make a garment from it. From £10/m
