Description
The Pattern:
Looking for a non-gender specific, versatile and confident beginner friendly sewing pattern?
The Ilford Jacket is a versatile style whose modular design makes for a pattern that is simple yet impactful. It can be customised in a million different ways and really is a "choose your own adventure” type of pattern that incorporates your design sense into the project!
Suggested Fabrics:
For a boxier look go for a lightweight canvas, utility style cotton drills & twills, medium weight linen, denim, wool flannel, cotton flannel and corduroy. It also looks amazing in a drapey woven fabric. When sewn up in a flannel, it is the perfect fall layering piece! The design lines of this pattern are simple enough that you have room to experiment with fabrics you may not have worked with before!
Shopping List:
- Woven fabric (not knitted)
- 5-10 buttons (any size is fine, but we recommend 1-1.5” buttons)
- 1metre fusible interfacing (weight depends on the fabric you are using but ideally light - mid weight) - find interfacing here
