Sewing pattern tutorial: How to make the Tigris coat?

The Tigris coat is a beautiful piece, a hand-sewn beauty that you can wear without getting tired of, a true timeless piece.

The pattern offers you different versions, in order to follow your desires but also to make it accessible to different sewing levels .
