Coat (Pattern)

Mina Greene

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of garment pattern pieces with accompanying instructions. It includes outlined shapes resembling parts of a garment with labeled annotations providing sewing instructions and pattern markings. The drawing features a main large section and several smaller sections that may correspond to sleeves or other parts. Detailed notes are inscribed below these patterns, instructing where components should connect or be trimmed, as well as specific stitching instructions such as folding, trimming, and positioning of different fabric sections marked as A, B, and C. These guidelines are typical of a sewing pattern layout.
