Helsinki Jacket Pattern - PDF DOWNLOAD
This unlined, oversized jacket can be sewn in two ways: as a semi-cropped jacket with shaped side pockets or as a longer car coat that has front patch pockets with flaps. Both versions have a dramatic oversized collar, a substantial front crossover so the jacket will give you coverage without any closures, and dropped sleeves for a relaxed look.
It’s a versatile topper that complements many outfits. Choose lightweight linen, canvas, or denim for a fun, breezy spring and summer jacket, then sew it again using a heavier wool coating for a cozy version that will carry you through fall and winter.
This jacket is intentionally oversized. For a more fitted jacket you might want to sew one size smaller.
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
Sizes: XXS-XXL
Suggested Fabrics:
This pattern works best with medium- to heavyweight woven fabrics like linen, canvas, denim, brocade, and wool coating. Medium-weight home-decorating fabrics could also be a good option for this style. Use self fabric or lighter weight fabric for the pocket bags (View A).
Notions:
- Matching thread
- Fusible interfacing
- 1/4 yd of pocket lining for View A
- Optional bias binding to finish the facing edge and the seam allowances
