NH Patterns Margot Fleece and Jacket

Buy the Margot Fleece and Jacket sewing pattern from NH Patterns. Margot was originally designed as a cosy fleece – an easy, throw-on-and-go piece. But during testing and sampling, it quickly became clear that Margot also worked beautifully beyond fleece, and Margot has evolved into a jacket that transitions easily through the seasons.

Margot is a relaxed, full-zip style with a drop shoulder and a funnel neck or standard collar. The standard collar view translates particularly well into mid-weight woven fabrics for a jacket. There are two pocket options: a large kangaroo-style pocket or patch pockets. 

Sewing level: Confident beginner / Intermediate

Suggested fabrics: While fleece is the fabric Margot was originally designed for, the pattern is surprisingly versatile and can also be made in a range of other fabrics. For the classic fleece version (funnel neck and kangaroo pocket), stable knit fabrics of a medium to heavy weight with a low stretch percentage work best. Fleece, sweatshirting, bouclé, double knits, and ponte are all excellent choices. The standard collar view with patch pockets works particularly well in mid-weight woven fabrics such as lightweight denim, twill, or heavy linen, creating a lightweight jacket.

Fabric requirements: The requirements do not take into account pattern matching. If you wish to pattern match, you may need more fabric than stated.
