I hope you’ve enjoyed Curvy Month! I admit this pattern is probably my favourite from the whole month so I saved it for last.
Evelyn Bellamy’s book’s are full of beautiful designs and this beautiful swing coat is a great example (look at her walking stick!). I love how structured this pattern is, with large cuffed sleeves and curved pockets.
- To fit: 36-38″ bust (this would be pretty flexible though)
- Yarn: 5-ply or sportsweight
- Needles: 3.75mm

Hi I found and bought a small book in an op shop thinking of you and your blog. It’s a tailoring guide from the 40s with pattern pieces. I will scan the cover and email you and if you will use it you can have it.

Oh my! This is certainly drool worthy and I can see why it’s your favorite! This smashing number is moving to the top of my to do list!
Thanks ever so much, Bex, for hosting curvy month!
