1. Carefully transfer all the details of the pattern to the fabric, so that you get 2 pieces each. Fold the cashmere in half, circle the contours of the parts. Repeat this procedure twice.
2. Cut out all the elements, be sure to measure 2 cm for allowances for the seams, except for the sleeves and the bottom - here you will have to make allowances of 5 cm.
3. Glue the sickle. Again, draw the outline of the patterns with a pencil on a sickle and soap on the fabric.
4. Using a ruler, measure the edges for the seams, cut off the excess fabric.
5. Circle the lines on the selection, that is, indicate the location of the loops, buttons, indent lines and folds. Thread all marks.
6. Cut out rectangular pockets (choose the size of your choice) bend them and sew them. Cut corners and edges-allowances, departing from the stitch 5 mm.
7. Remove the sickle from the pocket, leave, not reaching the seam 1-2 mm, iron the seams.
8. Turn out the pockets, thread the sides of the seam over the sides of the seams, sew at a distance of 1 cm from the edge.
9. Take one front part, pin a pocket burlap to it with a pin (measure the size of the burlap and cut the lining fabric), glue the burlap of the lining material to the other part. Make stitches so that you end up with a pocket.
10. Each detail of the coat will have a stitching in order to avoid deformation of the seams. Thread them by hand before fitting.

12. Take the details of the future collar, lay them on top of each other, fasten, sew. Remove the sickle, cut the allowances, leaving 5 mm, straighten the seams with an iron. Since the line on the collar will be semicircular, make undercuts without reaching 1-2 mm to the seam.

14. Stitch the collar, turn inside out, sweep by hand and sew.
15. Make absolutely identical elements from the lining fabric to the sleeves and the base of the coat. The only difference is that they will be single. Sew them together using a pattern.

19. Sew the main fabric of the sleeve on one side, attach loops to it. Then sew on the other side.
20. You will also need epaulets. Stitch them, cut them out, glue the sickle. Sew, remove the sickle, iron.Next, follow the pattern: twist, flip manually, stitch.
21. Using the same principle as shoulder straps, make loops for sleeves.
