Fowler Barn Coat + Quilted Jacket Closet Core Patterns - PDF Pattern

Description

The Fowler Jacket is a utilitarian and gender-neutral dream, giving you two distinct outerwear styles in one pattern; choose between a cozy quilted jacket and a workwear-inspired barn coat. Perfect for layering, Fowler is roomy and oversized with a boxy shape and a dropped shoulder, and features a two-piece sleeve and bandless collar. Finished with your choice of button or snap closure, Fowler is a comfortable, country-inspired jacket destined for long walks and endless customization. View A is a classic barn coat with double-layered patch pockets and a single breast pocket, finished with a sleeve hem facing, topstitched seams, and a traditional pressed hem. View B is a quilted jacket with rounded patch pockets, finished with double-fold bias tape along all edges and hems.

To create a quilted jacket:
Outer and inner layer − light- to midweight woven fabrics such as cotton poplin, lawn, voile, chambray and broadcloth, or linen. Drapey fabrics are not recommended.
