Sew Over It Farley Shacket

Buy the Farley Shacket sewing pattern from Sew Over It. The perfect combination of a shirt and a jacket, the Farley Shacket is a great transitional layering piece. The design is slightly oversized and features buttons down the front and on the cuffs, a classic collar with a half-moon collar stand, and a panelled body. Clever double-entry pockets are built into the front seams: keep your hands warm on the outside and your belongings safe on the inside.

Version 1 is hip-length and will work in most woven fabrics, from a classic shirting to needlecord or flannel, as well as heavier fabrics. Version 2 is cropped and will work best in a more structured denim or canvas to hold its shape.
