Orageuse

£9.00 – £16.00

Buy the Londres Trench Coat and Jacket sewing pattern from Orageuse. Londres is a long, flowing trench coat or short, straight jacket with a modern tailored collar, wide lapels, an asymmetrical shoulder flap, and shoulder tabs. It is unlined, but every inside seam is finished with piping. The trench coat closes simply with a belt. Note the jacket is easier to make than the trench coat (no pockets and less fabric to handle).

What we think: This is a great transitional piece, and it’s not too complicated to make due to the lack of lining and fastenings. You’ll want to be comfortable sewing with drapey fabrics.
