My favorite winter coat ` pattern is called Desert coat ,, i have made 3 one with a hood ,, it is cut in one or 3 pieces [ depends on width of wool ,, One i made with a mathching skirt , even now after wearing it almost
Do you have a picture of this coat or a site we can see it or the pattern? Desert coat just doesn't ring a bell.
You may know it as a Bedouin Coat ,, i can send you a drawing , if you send me you email mirjam
Bedouin coat doesn't ring a bell either unless it's pretty much like one of those shapeless somewhat oversize type garments the Arabs wear when seen on tv.
Maybe like the Moroccan Burnoose shown here?
Is yours similar to the one which Folkwear sells the patterns? I seem to recall the name. Emily

No no it doesn`t look like a kowloon either ,, mirjam
By the way , quite some weaving books have great patterns , you can easily sew ,, mirjam
I didn't think it did, Mirjam. It's just that that one picture reminded me of the Kowloon Coat, which I have drooled over for years.
