Swing Coat Sewing Pattern

Folkwear Pattern #254

#254 Swing Coat Extra Small to Extra Large. $19.95 This easy, breezy coat is a snap to make, with just four main pattern pieces. The front pieces have neck extensions that stitch together at center back to form the collar. The back is stitched into a back yoke and features a deep pleat for maximum "swing." Sleeves are narrow at the wrist so you can push them up for a casual look, and they stay put. The pattern offers two pocket versions: side-seam and patch.

Folkwear Sewing Patterns: Photo Gallery - Here is a fun and creative, slightly shortened interpretation of #254 Swing Coat. Dinette, from Highlands Ranch, Colorado, made it from a high-quality wax print cotton. Because the print looks just as good on the wrong side as the right side, it's perfect for this unlined jacket.
