Black Boucle Clef Coat

This is  the Love Notions Clef Coat (more of a jacket IMHO) in a black wool mix boucle. The fabric was purchased back when I wore suits and separates to the office, but worked quite well in this more casual style.

This has a funnel neck, rather than a fitted collar. I generally prefer it worn open.

It's a fairly simple sew, though I've made a few small changes.

I rotated the pocket piece when I cut it out so that the enclosed area is slightly larger and can hold something like a phone whilst still being OK for putting your hands in.

I positioned the pocket piece slightly higher up to avoid it being too near the hem..

I've drawn the hem onto my pattern pieces as my printout didn't have the hem marked (maybe I turned too many layers off). I've put elastic into the wrists, but not yet into the main hem. I may go back and add this in later.

I couldn't find any indication of where the buttons should go, so made up my own spacing. I interfaced the front bands but nothing else.
