Any from the Lotta Jansdotter book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lotta-Jansdotter-Everyday-Style/dp/1617691747

Or the Bianca coat from  sew me something patterns here: http://www.sewmesomething.co.uk/catalogue_item.php?catID=11785&prodID=97417

I have made up a toile of the Bianca coat from a fairly thick fabric (my old front door curtains) to make it fairly realistic buthe I can't get the front to hang quite right. 

No toiles for the Lotta Jansdotter patterns  yet but they are next on the list.

Does it hang worse than this?  Surely not.  0_0



Actually, I am quite taken with this pattern but was shot down in flames when I said so.   :D

Can you post a picture of you wearing the toile so that we can see what you think might be the problem?

Ha ha, yep, I think it may well hang worse!  I actually really like the idea of the pattern as it's so simple.
Good idea, I will post a picture (this may take a few hours as we're on school holidays).
I was going to use an old fleece throw for the toile only to discover that one of the children had become rather attached to it, but it may have given a better idea.
