Autumn Chill is a sewing pattern perfect for fall that features a close-fitting and flared fully lined coat with princess seams, slit pockets in the front side panels, and a wide collar for the 16.5" RTB101 body dolls.

The members of Club Grace often share their creations from Tamara’s Pattern. One of our lovely creators is Gale Torres, she did a great job with the Autumn Chill Pattern, didn’t she?
Here’s what another member, Pam Walker, said about the Weekender Pattern: “I made another outfit for Dee and the other girls from Tamara's "Weekender" pattern. I love this one..I think it looks so chic. I added a shawl for the chilly evenings. I love the "Weekender" pattern. I love the fit, the look, and everything about it. Best of all, it is easy and quick to make.”
