As someone who's always been on the colder side, especially during winter, I can relate to needing extra layers just to feel warm. My siblings and I share this trait—walking around the house wrapped up like mummies in multiple sweaters, blankets, and scarves is our norm. When I think about dressing for winter, comfort and warmth are top priorities. And the new Lisette B6243 coat pattern from Butterick? It’s pure coziness. Take a look.

This coat is everything I look for in a winter piece: it’s not only practical but also stylish. The design features a dropped shoulder and a shawl collar, giving it a relaxed yet chic vibe. There’s something so inviting about its loose-fitting silhouette.

When it comes to fabric choice, there’s no shortage of options. My version is made from a dense, stable knit that mimics boiled wool. But if you're looking for something different, melton wool or a wool-cashmere blend would work beautifully too. Or perhaps a textured double-face wool or a jacquard fabric—it’s all about picking something that feels special. I’ve had luck finding unique plaid wools at Beckenstein Fabrics in New York City, tucked away in the back of the store.

For those who prefer a more tailored look, I previously introduced you to another fantastic winter coat pattern, the Lisette B6385. That one’s perfect for dressing up and pairing with everything from jeans to pencil skirts. But when I need something cozier, I opt for something less structured, like the Lisette B6423. This one offers the freedom to move and layer without feeling constricted.

The attention to detail here is what makes this coat stand out. Princess seams curve gracefully into front pockets, while the dropped waist at the back adds a touch of elegance with its kick pleat. There’s also a cleverly placed side panel with an underarm gusset for added mobility. The sleeves are wide enough to accommodate bulkier sweaters but remain sleek enough to avoid looking dated.
If you're curious to see the coat in action, check out the latest video introducing the McCall pattern lines. It’s a great way to get a feel for how the garment looks in motion.

Now, about the lining. While the outer fabric is key, don’t overlook the importance of a luxurious lining. I’m still searching for the ideal lining for a fuzzy turquoise wool I picked up in Paris last spring. The goal? Something that feels indulgent and complements the coat perfectly.

Even if you live in a warmer climate, this pattern works beautifully with lighter-weight fabrics like twills or wool crepes. The key is to choose something that feels special—something you’ll enjoy wearing every winter.
This pattern is rated easy by Butterick, making it a great project for beginners or anyone wanting a quick sew. If you give it a try, tag your creation with #B6423 on Instagram or upload it to the SewLisette Flickr group. For those interested in a faster, hand-sew-free method, I recommend my tutorial on bagged-in linings. You can find detailed instructions in Day 5 of the Lisette moto jacket sew-along.
I hope this pattern brings you as much joy to sew as it does to wear. Happy stitching!
