Coco Jacket
Coco is here to become your favorite jacket, cardigan and blazer! With a perfectly fitting yoke with proper tailoring, a deep V-neck, lovely rounded corners at front and pockets, it has it all! The set-in sleeves are loose and airy with a slight balloon-shaped cuff; and the buttons band and buttonholes are discreet and very cute. Coco is constructed from the top-down, starting at the back, then shoulders, then the whole yoke together as one - this means that the jacket is virtually seamless (with the exception of pocket finishing). The body is then worked in conjunction with the pockets, followed by sleeves and body edging. The pattern includes many modification options to make sure that it fits YOUR body and if you need a bit more support, there is a course in which I walk you through the WHOLE process, start to finish, including how to modify the pattern to your specific measurements. This really is a jacket for everyone!
The pattern is available in English and Spanish. / El patrón está disponible en Español.
