Helsinki Jacket Pattern By Liesl + Co (Avail Apr)

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 with 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.

This pattern works best with medium- to heavyweight woven fabrics like linen, canvas, denim, brocade, and wool coating, as well as medium-weight home-decorating fabrics. Use self fabric or lighter weight fabric for the pocket bags (View A).

Coordinating thread

Fusible interfacing

Optional bias binding to finish the facing edge and the seam allowances
