The Modern Sewing Co. Potters Jacket

Buy the Potters Jacket sewing pattern from The Modern Sewing Co. The Potters Jacket is designed to be useful all year round. The cut is neat and smart with a two-piece sleeve, simple collar and two pocket options: welt pockets or gusset pockets. The pattern is fitted on the shoulders with a subtle A-line shape from the bust down and comes in two lengths to accommodate those who want a longer, more substantial feeling jacket.

It works in a huge range of fabrics to give you a completely different garment depending on your choice of material. For winter you could make it in wool or waxed cotton. Summer options include heavy linen or denim, which could be left unlined.
