I don't know about downloadable patterns, but if you go to Etsy.com and do a search under men's toggle coat (or men's duffle coat) pattern, you'll find some very nice ones for sale.

My partner has requested a similar jacket and I'm trying not to be overwhelmed. eeek! I'm hoping you may be able to send me a link to the place you bought your toggles from - they are divine and I can't seem to find anything remotely special... though I have found an amazing japanese book on making mens coats which has a similar pattern as yours. that's an exciting start.<br />Many thanks!<br />Michelle.michellehttp://www.formandreform.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-12640586856254729222010-12-11T21:06:45.884-05:002010-12-11T21:06:45.884-05:00Thanks, all!

I had to order some more flannel today because I could only get half a pair of pants and the top out of what I had... and I'd bought what they said to buy on the pattern envelope! So after I finish with the top, I still have 5.5 pairs of jammies and a doll to finish. The doll is at least sewn together and embroidered, as are the bits of clothes. I'm doing the hair now, and then I need to finish making the clothes, but I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel.<br /><br />Of course, by now, I can practically make pajamas in my sleep....Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717835382469677601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-57182604232951346862010-12-11T14:49:40.386-05:002010-12-11T14:49:40.386-05:00I like your comparison to a restaurant bill.
