Grainline Studio Cortland Trench

Grainline Studio

£21.00

Buy the Cortland Trench sewing pattern from Grainline Studio. With its modern swing shape and length that hits mid-hip, the Cortland is an update on the classic trench. Raglan sleeves give you plenty of movement and room for layering while the storm flaps and generous collar keep out inclement weather. The Cortland also features a double-breasted front closure and roomy welt pockets. All seams are bound, which not only gives your coat a professional finish, but also helps it stand up to wear and tear.

This sewing pattern is available to buy in the following format:

– PAPER (next working day dispatch on orders and FREE UK delivery over £50)

Suggested fabrics:

Main fabric: Lightweight coating or medium weight fabrics such as cotton or tencel twill, gabardine, or linen. Make sure your fabric has drape to allow the swing shape of the coat to hang properly. The designer recommends fabric weights between 5 and 8 oz.

Pocket lining fabric: Lightweight cotton fabrics such as chambray, lawn, or pocketing.

Fusible interfacing: Woven or tricot interfacing in a similar, or slightly lighter, weight as your main fabric.
